Thanks all. To the question on condition, mine was probably a little better but someone is usually going to end up on the short end of the stick. The worst thing I have to deal with are a few heavy creases on the driver's bolster, nothing too terrible. HTG and Bullitt44 did a real nice job detailing the interior out after the swap, it looks great. To the question of cost, there were two parts. First was the swappee. Black interiors are common but tan aren't and you need to find one to swap with. For that reason, there seems to be a line of thinking that black + cash = tan. I gave the guy a few hundred plus my black. In hindsight, I could have negotiated a bit, especially since mine was in better condition but it was also a bird in the hand. The second part was HTG. He only charged me for his out-of-pocket expenses, which totaled $140. That included his gas, food and tolls between OH and VA. HTG = 
Red + Tan does feel Ferrari. For those of you that know Scottevil from these boards, his car is a great example. My next challenge is finding wheels that go with this feel. Scott has BBS RG-R, which are a great choice, the right finish and look. I'd love to get them as well but don't want to rip him off too much. Any ideas on style and finishes?
