Not quite apt, I don't think.

The car has an internal combustion engine, and you bought it.

You can't act surprised, or find it unacceptable, that it takes 
unleaded gas.

On the other hand, you can change the floor mats.

You can convert it to propane too, with appropriate heavy lifting.

But the placement of the horn button on the steering will is where it 
is - deal.

And the dimensions of the stereo equipment is what it is - you can 
replace it, but only, really, with something of the same or smaller 
physical dimensions.

Herein is the problem - you void your warranty if you take it anywhere 
other than the dealer.
