That's DETUNED's interior. He was the first one to post the pic for it.

My friends dad owns a marine re-uppholstering shop and it is one of the best in the country... he says SEM is the best dye you can buy for interior as it will hold up the best and last forever. I saw the dye itself used on my friends Mustang and it looks OEM.

LOL. I'm still doing the Leatherique, $120 for 32 oz. of Cleaner, 32 oz. of Prep, and 32 oz, of Dye, including 4 oz. of crack filler. I don't this deal is beatable, it's just a matter of time as to when for me.
It says on Leatherique that this much is enough to recolor a smaller end 4 door sedan, i.e. something the size of an IS. That's MORE than enough for an SC, and it will be nice to have some leftover for minor touchups along the road.
