Yes.....I hear that an interior can be converted to leather for about $1000 from
my dealer (I was considering it but....) so.....

tell your friend to get the sport seats, and have the interior recovered in
leather.  Sure, for a grand they may not get the door panels and everything, but
the seats, front and back, is what they're after, right?  And the sport steering
wheel/shift knob is already leather.
