    Well each year, during the winter I tackle a project or two, this year it was the interiors turn. I had the center part of the seats remade, the prior owner had gotten the center part of the seat wet and it appears that he tried drying with heat and may have never showed the seat love with a conditioner.

    The leather shrunk and was very firm. I found a picky leather guy and he remade the seat pad leather to an exact match and cut new foam. I then found a company by the name of Fibrenew to dye the hides to the proper finish or shine. What do you guys think?

    The picture is not that great but you get the idea.

    Try Fibrenew, they are a franchise and their work is quite good. The seem to be resonable, pick up, treat, repair some deep cracks and redye both seats complete (unlike others that just redye the seating area) for $350.00

    Fantastic. They'll look even better when you get them back in the car.
