I'd go without the airbags, mine are dead, and have been since i bought the car. The place i got it from didn't have that part fixed when they repaired the car. I probobly could have sued them for something or gotten some money but its almost been a year since i bought it and its probobly too late. What I would do is search for one of the Steering wheels from the JDM model that didn't have an air bag. It would look better and you wouldn't have to replace that part of the car\, saving you probobly 1,000 or so?.
