At the very least, you need to change the cover that goes over the airbag. Toyota doesn't sell the cover separately, but I've noticed that some ebay sellers offer the cover. Also, in regions where steering wheel controls are not an available option, the spiral cable (aka clockspring) needs to be changed to the one that has the three extra wires for the steering wheel controls.

What if I change my Steering wheel with the OEM one I've pictured above? Will it cause any type of problem? And can I change the Black plastic cover on the top, where the Toyota emblem is at? The reason is that the Steering wheel I am getting has a different pattern on it's plastic cover as compared to my Belta's.

Changing the plastic cover can be done, but might be tricky/dangerous. The plastic cover is riveted on with four large rivets, so they would need to be drilled out.

Okay, but how should it be drilled out?

I personally wouldn't attempt it. Theoretically airbags are designed to withstand heat and vibration, but I think I would try to locate an airbag that fits the steering wheel first.
