I have been thinkin the same thing bout my seats, I hate the look of worn leather. I know that one of my buddies had his Grand Prix GTX done with two tone leather, and it looked AWESOME, and was softer than the stock leather was.



HMMMM...... I dont remember how much he paid though, but the guy had money, so I am sure it was a lot

I don't think even Mr Ememiya could pull that one off.

Pink=*****
amemiya already did it, he has a pink FD vert, red leather interior, and a body kit that makes it almost look like a Porsche. It was in super street about 2 years ago or so.

Listen - before you go out and spend a bundle I have heard that there are some really good leather dyes out there for that specific purpose! I think it works as long as the leather isn't really torn. But worn is ok!



Maybe someone here knows the name of a company that sells it?

On the other forum there was a guy who did a seatcover and it looked just like the stock seatcover!! It was AWSOME. I am thinking about it myself.



_Rikki
I did mine from leatherseats.com. The seats are 575 for the set. I got quoted between 400 and 500 for the install, so I did it myself. It took two evenings.



I have to say I did mine about 2 or 3 months ago and they still look and fit like new.



and Rikii, I saw a pic of your car today, my car is black too and had tan originally. I redid the seats in black and it looks WAY better than the black/tan.



If anyone is curious about the carpet, I dyed the carpet black with the fabric spray paint. The cost was about 20.00 and took about 1 hour. I removed the seats and painted the carpet in the car. I have shown my carpet to a few of the forum members at the racetrack and they are all shocked that its dyed, nobody can tell. And I constantly get comments about how awesome the seats are.
