Grab anything from headlight covers to floor mats to adjustable seat belts (if it has them)... just look at what he has and what you have, then swap over all the best bits into yours... and you are a lucky bastard :P

Save some interesting bits you might like to chop up for a hobby project or something. Eg. heated or fan-cooled seats, chilled cup holders, custom in-dash LCD, painted dash and trim pieces, etc.
