Default 16 Aristo Zenki Steering Wheel on GS400

Does anyone know if it is possible to put a 16 Aristo Zenki Steering Wheel (with e-shift buttons) on a GS400? If so, would I be reuse my USDM GS400 air bag and cruise control switch?

I believe Kouki and Zenki Aristo had different shaped air bags and connectors just like how they are different on Pre2001 and Post2001 GS in the U.S. So I'm hoping that the steering wheel is a direct swap... Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

dang, I thought this would be the least expensive way to get a wood steering wheel. Now it's back to the drawing board... Thanks for your help exclusive

On a second thought, looks like it's a direct swap. If anyone reads Japanese, here's a link: http://ls-japan.com/ARISTO_LEXUS_GS300.GS400.GS430.html

Try eBay. I grabbed a 03' RX300 wood wheel for under $200. Wood is an exact match.
