Dying seats
Has anyone dyed their seats? I'm curious as to how it turned out and what process you used to dye them. Did you remove the seats? Anything I should be aware of? This is the color I'm thinking of dying my seats. It's a Porsche color called cognac.

Dying seats!!! Call a seat ambulance, LoL. I don't know how you could get them from an original, darker color to a light orange? Unless you get different leather and have them re-done, and the cost would be prohibitive.

You're a man after my own heart! I did exactly what you wrote and chose the same colour scheme. Really pleased with the results. I used dye from Seat Doctors. And you're right that colour is called Congac.
Nice. Very Nice! Did you use the dye on the plastic bits?
Leather world tech said they had a formula for plastic as well as leather. I already had a paint match sample from Home Depot that I used for door lock finials and light touchup.
