Once you add one of those lightweight steering wheel systems on a car its automatically considered an off road car. Something to consider before going through the install. Wrapping or modifying the existing steering wheel is probably a better option imho.

Source for your claim?
Legally, you may have a shop remove a functional airbag only with cause(ie, too short), but you may personally remove it without issue.

The real issue to worry about is your insurance company, since they can refuse to cover injuries resulting from the missing airbag (state farm didnt care last I checked, ymmv). And then of course, the risk of killing or seriously injuring yourself, but that's a decision for you to make.
