    i needa get a seat bracket first T.T and ima abit broke lol. i decided to rub my finger on the seat until friction built up some heat on my finger. nothing happened. so far so good. as long as i take care of it and use uv protectant products, it could probably last me forever. only time will tell

    Get a ryokurob bracket. I'm sure you can work something out with him ;)

    Sooo, any update on these seats? I'm thinking about doing this to my leather interior bits now. Did you dye just the one seat and how much of the dye did you have left afterwards?

    pics will be up soon, ive had them on for half a week. so far so good. i would say the only real bad thing is that it makes the leather look super shiney, thus alittle cheaper
