Ok, here's the story. After a lot of looking. I have found my car. a 2006 Manual Transmission Red/ Black Interior C4S with Navi, Chrono, and GT3 Kit with black OEM Rims. It has 15,000 miles. I love the exterior of the car, but the interior has much to be desired. It's nice and very clean, but not like WOW! I would like to paint the interior red in the middle console, the area around the navi, the door handle area, the strip across the passenger seat, and the back of the seats. I also want to change out the basic seats and get the sports seats. I also wanted to know if it's possible to change the interior from non leather to leather? I know that everything else can be done, but I am courious about if anyone has made that change before?

The reason I am buying this car is because I am saving like $40k off of a new one and I can't find similar C4S within $10k of the car.

There are 100's of C4S's for sale. Keep looking. You will spend +$10K making those changes.

I believe that you're right. I will just stick with painting the interior and that's it. I can live with the regular seats. And they are power.

If you're keeping the seats and simply want to paint bits throughout the interior, most, if not all, of it can be done by Eric at bumperplugs.com.

In fact, he can send you replacements even before you send the cores back to him in many cases.

* BTW, did I win a prize for being the longest lurker (Sept 2005 joined, first post April 2008) ;)

It's funny that you mentioned that. I spoke with Eric on Wednesday and we put together a package. It seems very labor intensive since I have to take out and send some parts and replace others. He also said that they don't do the air vents area, which is something that I really wanted done.

I'm in the middle. I like the current interior, but I really lust over that red interior.

BTW, I picked up the car on Friday and absolutely love it.
