Arrow Replacing Steering wheel on 98 Civic

So this is my first car, and the steering wheel is in terrible condition. Really don't like touching it, let alone grabbing it, and I hate how thick it feels with a steering wheel cover, so I started looking for aftermarket steering wheels. (like the sparco ones) The only thing I didn't like about them is the fact that I lose an airbag.

So I looked into a steering wheel like this one: http://www.corsportusa.com/store/cat...oducts_id=7174

Cheap, looks great, and allows me to use the airbag (right?).

My question is: Will it work on my 1998 1.6L Civic? I believe its a DX(That's what it said when I looked up the VIN online, but it says "Coupe EX" on my ownership slip.. lol) If it's only compatible with 01-05 models, can anyone recommend me an alternative?

Also will I need to buy an aftermarket Steering Wheel hub to make it work? This is my first modification so sorry for the noob questions. Hoping someone can help me!

haha yeah.. that's just a sticker

If you want to change steering wheels and maintain an airbag then swap another OEM wheel in.
