airbag wheel on non equip airbag

i have been shopping for a new steering wheel(stock) for my 1989 iroc. They all seem pretty exspensive for a 85-89 iroc steering wheel. I do see alot of 90-up wheels for sale, my question is their someplace that will sell you a blown airbag for a non air bag equip. car? thanks

This was a 93+ Camaro wheel. The owner stitched up the center section. It's ok for now, but I will probably change it.

You should be able to, there is only one bolt that holds the wheel on.

Why not just use a wheel with a good airbag? I got the wheel of a wrecked car I was parting, the bag was blown (Looked like ***) so I bought a bag for it and on it went into my car.

with some slight mods to the adapter a 1989 (non airbag )adapter will fit (well mine did ) the only reason no one lists an adapter for the 91 etc is because its SUPPOSED to have an airbag

Nope, it just rolls down the driveway or into the garage.
This is the 13th month. I took some pictures of it today in the driveway, I'll post them in the appearance section in a bit
