looking to purchase a new CR-V

Greetings all....

I am in the market for a new CR-V, I guess at this point the '05 model, and had some questions. I have been comparing the interiors of the EX model and the SE model, and I would like to get a little of each. The one thing I would like to add to the EX interior is the optional audio controls of the steering wheel. Is that something that can be done on the EX model, or is it an option for the EX model? Really, I want the leather interior too, but the SE edition doesn't come in the color I want (eternal blue). Any suggestions on how to go about getting what I want.. ie. SE and get it painted, or EX with optional audio controls!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

the EX comes std with audio controls on the steering wheel!
