Default Red Interior v. Ugly?

Alright guys, here's the deal. I found an 02 S2k silver / red int. with 48k miles with a price that I like. The only problem I have with it is the red interior. I love the car, but the interior is just kinda odd to me.

My dad and I restored a 72' 240z thats the same color combo and it didn't look that bad.

What are your thoughts on red interiors? How hard would it be to swap out? I just wish the interior was two tone red like newer s2k. Can I change out the dash to a black one / paint the current one easily? Has anyone done a complete interior conversion before? How hard was it?

Thanks in advance.

Its a matter of personal preference. I love the all red interior in MY02s, looked for over a year but couldn't find a good one. Some will agree, some will disagree. Swapping interiors is a relatively simple thing - many members have done it, including me. However, the typical swap is seats, console, door inserts and carpet. Swapping out the entire dash is a way different story.

I don't have the car yet, I'm looking at it, but it's supposed to be mint. I'm from Atlanta, am in Houston visiting my Parents for a few weeks now that school is out and I'll be living about 5 miles North of the overlook of the Tail of the Dragon in Tallassee, TN all summer.
