Turned out very nice, but for some reason it looks overwhelming ? the color contrast between the black and the tan is too great. IMO there is too much black or not enough, perhaps some black seats and to die the A pilers would complete the black/tan interior. This is just my .02 cause i really like the look of this one:
Yours is looking hot!

^oh yeah dude, I saw your post. I like it a lot, it's really nice! But my tan seats are in horrible shape, and if I am going to buy new leather, I would rather just get black leather since I've always been fond of black interiors over tan.

Not a color match but really close by luck. They always matched the doors and dash but were way off from the arm rest and back seat. Now I dumped all the non mathing parts it is really flowing.

Foliatec is amazing, used it in the past and you can actually take a key and gouge the plastic that has been dyed and you wont see the original color of the piece you will only see the color of the dye you used. You can get it at www.phantasmusa.com I doubt it is on their website but just contact Nam Phan via email and let him know, hes got them in stock. They dont fade over time either and you can use any interior cleaner you would otherwise use and will leave it unaffected. I would not recommend them on seats though, as romeo291 stated they could be used for the leather on the door panels and armrest because they dont have the same amount of contact the seats would be xposed to. Seen his armrest in person and I was really surprised at how well that turned out.

Sorry I haven't been updating this thread. I've been extremely busy lately. Anyways, I was trying to tint the buttons and stuff, that didn't work out too well. I still need to find a good resolution for the buttons. Will post updates once I figure things out.
Here are some recent pictures. I painted the door panels and I added another coat of clear over everything for extra protection.

Next, I need to order new leather, new carpet, new floormats, and paint the back side panels once I take the seats out to re-upholster them. Oh yeah, I need to dye the shift **** and e-brake too. I think I am going to try finding a better paint to tint over the ***** and stuff. The transparent black paint I used to tint the ***** didn't stick at all.
