looks AMAZING! but i should hold judgement till we get better quality pictures and to see how durable this is.

I would love to have my seats dyed BMW coral red

Well so far, one seat has about 6 coats on it and looks incredible in person. The color haven't came off at all and has seemed to stay in, obviously it's to early to tell but I've tried rubbing it quite hard and nothing came off. Hopefully it lasts because I'm in love!

Gawd as soon as your girl wears white its on (I mean OFF!!)! haha just kidding. Not something I'd personally do but I know plenty of Mitsu Evo guys that have dyed seats with good results. Keep updating, those look good!

Not bad for 50 bucks! No peeling or flaking right?

Im worried about white pants but we will see, no flaking or anything YET, but like i said they arent even done yet. I sanded the seats down really really good before i applied anything to get the best outcome

Hey you never know maybe it will be tougher and stay on, I have 5% tint as well so hopefully that will help a tad. We won't know for a few months though

The seats are EASY, I've stripped one car in my life and that was an old camaro, this was just as easy, if not easier because the screws obviously weren't rusty.
