07 Heritage - "Green" removal?

[vvroom]

So, is there a way to change out the nasty green steering wheel inserts (and the door handles as well)?
I'm new to the forum as well to "C's", but looking hard for m first. I've got a line on an 07 Heritage in Red, but that green disaster is a deal breaker. I'm not hot on the fake wood either, but MAY be able to live with it if I get the green eyesore out of the car. (of couse, the follow-up question how hard is it to swap the plasti-wood for the standard silver dash insert?... )

Next, how expensive are the parts?

Finally, does anybody know what's up with the Canadian rental cars being brought into the US? Per Chrysler (both US and Canadian departments) the warranty is void once registered in another country, but the dealer says "naaahhh, you have the remainder of the 3/36". I passed on a beauty of a car due to this.. who's right?

Thanks, can't wait to get into a C... I'm impressed!

I have a an ex-Canadien 300. Warranty is still good. Dont worry.

The only thing that is hard to replace is the door pulls. Everything else is easy. Expect to pay around $100 for each of the parts you want to switch out.

Good news on the warranty. Red is hard to find in "american" cars.

What's involved in replacing the steering wheel inserts? Dealer says the only way is to replace the entire column. I'm begininng to figure the dealer's service dept. is not the best.

I appreciate the help.

i havent done it but apparently the steering wheel parts just pop out. there's a how-to somewhere on the forum. you can change them and the door pulls for other models parts, or paint the ones you have for a lot less $$$ and something custom too - body color maybe? (do the center dash bezel while you are at it too!)
