if yes, i would like to know if anyone from the forum already have done this upgrade? any pics?

also, i would like to know if only need the new steering wheel and the driver's side airbag, if will fit on my oem 2001 toyota corolla oem airbag plug? or i need to buy another plug to connect the upgraded airbag.

The steering wheel from other models should fit directly on, but in terms of the airbag plugs, compare them to the ones seen in these photos from a late model Toyota Yaris (same steering wheel as late model Celicas, MR2s etc). If they're the same, then chances are that they'll be the same across all of the models you mentioned above.

Just a word of warning: Be sure to disconnect the terminals on your battery before taking the airbag out of your car to compare the plugs seen in the photos. After you've disconnected the battery, wait at least 5-minutes. There are two Torx head screws on the rear of the steering wheel. Loosen these and the horn pad/airbag will come off and you can unplug the connectors. Make sure you put the airbag in a safe place, with the Toyota symbol facing upwards.

Here's the pics of the airbag connectors on the Yaris for comparison:
