No way I'd work with them sight-unseen. End of the day I've come around to your way of thinking - Imola/creme. Only drawback is the color scheme almost perfectly matches my wife's Explorer (red, black leather, black grill/trim).
That sounds exactly like my buying experience... lol. Except I did buy sight unseen. There's a thread describing the ordeal. My first, and hopefully last car-buying experience that follows that story line. It worked out okay in the end (sales guy was actually very nice and accommodating), but it was a hassle for sure.

Well, welcome to the 4.8is club. It isn't super exclusive, but man is it a lot of fun. At least in between repairs.

I've wrapped my interior trim in a number of colors so far... and haven't found one I'm happy with yet. I have the light wood color, forget the name of it. Supposed to be an upgraded option... but I don't like wood in my cars.
