Id like to know if the dye holds up, getting in andout of the seats. I dyed a motorcycle seat one time, and it looked great, but as soon as got on and off of it.....the viynal would stretch but the dye wouldnt. It flaked off eventually.

perhaps, I'm betting their 17x7.5 rims with 215/45/17 tires.....

If you have a vertex style kit, you probably need to get at least 19" rims...

Dye jobs don't last long, I use to have that done years ago, looks good for a while then the dye fades... Steering wheels I might dye but seats I would be weary if you plan on keeping... and for the first month don't wear white on a hot day......

I'm telling you bro. Get it done once and get it done right. Reupholster the entire interior. You will not regret it.

To have the entire interior rewrapped is about $1800.00. LIterally everything is rewrapped.
