Haven't tried it but looking forward to seeing how it works for you.

Those are color-matched by GM. Green was an 06 only color and that interior only came on green ones. BTW...nicest color combo ever offered.

Yea that color combo is nice. So today I tried to dye my seats and it didn't work. The grey woven looks to be made of a plastic material. So the green didn't work. I tried both of the things I listed and the spray can one worked the best but didn't get anywhere close to way I wanted and I took a shampoo cleaner to it and it came out. Well I tried. Back to the drawing board.

You should pull your seats out...carefully remove the covers...and take em to a professional. Since you already have accurate patterns, it should be very easy (and cheap) to simply copy them or cut em apart and sew new panels into them. I saw an H3 with custom black & red leather treatment...it looked much nicer than the stock mono-chromatic leather seats.

I have watched utube videos on it. And the good stuff is fairly expense and they do color matches.. But it's a long process to to change the colors

Hey I just got an idea, maybe take some 1000d nylon sheet and sew it into the squared areas where the grey is!??? Hmm what do you think?
