You can try to contact DCT Motor Sports...

They can take your core steering wheel and build it up to look like that or even convert it to a flat bottom steering wheel. Their shop is in Taiwan. I deal with Ivan Hsu and he is located in his Los Angeles shop, so you can talk to him about cost.

No, your airbag won't fit and you can't update the wheel style. There are however different wheels in the same style that you have that you can upgrade to.

From my understanding, DCT can take your stock steering wheel (the core sans the air bag) and build that up to look like the MP Design steering wheel. You can confirm with DCT if this is true...this way you don't have to get a new air bag...problem is you won't have a steering wheel for a couple of weeks...
