Default Leather repair kits, worth it?

http://www.leatherworldtech.com/Auto...spx?make=Lexus

I've seen this stuff in action once before. Looked pretty good. J/w if anyone else has tried something similar to it. Seats are damn spendy out of a junkyard if you can find em. Also what color on that chart would I use? I have the tan interior. Does it have a special color name other than "tan" ?

I re-dyed my seats with the kit from leatherrenew.com (80)
you are basically painting your seats with paint matched to the leather, and the durability of the new coating depends on the condition of the leather underneath. After two years since i re 'dyed' my seats, there are cracklines where the old cracks used to be, but a major improvement than before. The back seats and headrests still look brand new though
