Yeah I really like that it does it does that too. Not to far out there but looks incredible

Lol. I like my ****. Wait, that sounded wrong. I think I've got enough red. I was actually worried it would be too much with the red stitching.

I'd be a little to a lot scared. The leather seats have a portion of the seat that is fabric. It is on the inside of the seat by the center console, so you can't see it. It absorbed the die when I colored those white stitches. I didn't freak because I can't really see it. On the part of a seat that is visible, I think it would look like crap.

I don't like the sticker overlays so that was all ruled out. These pics are all real quick shots I've taken with my phone I can post more if some would like.

Yep, that was the hardest part with out a doubt. I was verrrrry careful on that part. I wouldn't do a whole cloth seat personally

Hmmm one last question before I do this. If I have problems with stitching down the road, do you think Ford would void the warranty? I can see them trying to say chemicals in the dye caused issues.

I don't think there's any definite answer for that. Who really knows. I don't see any problems coming up with stitching though besides things like fraying which is your own fault and they won't cover that anyways. Worst case, roush take offs are like 150. Regardless your going to love it

I agree. I think any damage to the seats would be considered wear. I think most claims on seats are difficult, in general. I already have 22,000 miles on my car. This makes me less concerned.

And yes, you'll love how it looks.

What color red did you use? I have the optional leather with the white stripe in the middle. Wonder if it would dye that as well

It would dye it I'm sure, but I'm not sure how good it would look, does it also have white stitching? I'd probably just do the stitching and go with red/ white theme

You dyed it from white to green, right? Dying black stitching probably wouldn't work, would it?

Right, no it wouldn't. My door panels have a very cool pattern that I would have also done had it been white, but they are black. But I'm happy with the amount of green there is now

I just used a fabric dye marker by Marvy, that I got from Michael's. I used the wet sock technique to wipe up the stuff on the leather and it came out good. The stitching on the fabric portion near the center console was a *****. It's not as dark as the leather portions stitching but it blends. I got a crimson red to match my candy apple red 12' GT

How do you like it? Yeah the cloth part of the seats are very hard to get and will bring you to your breaking point in a hot car like the 2 days I did mine..
Lets see it!?

Two days? Lol I toughed it out and did it all in about 2 hrs but I was a cussing mess.

Here it is:

It's really red in person but my bright LEDs are washing it out in the photo.

Yea It was so hot so I split it into 2 days, 4 hours or so. 2 is really good. I'm also having trouble catching the stitch looking the true color, but nonetheless looks good!
