S4 seat dyeing...now it's a real quandary!

[Alex Kowalski]

Thanks, Jan.  I don't have an EKTA (yet) and so I hadn't considered that
alternative; I have to give you a lot of credit for figuring that out for
me, it's very good to know.

Between that and the other suggestions I've received, I need a little time
to gainsay and make up my mind...maybe I'll test fit one of the ecru seats
and see how it looks, then decide.  I really hadn't thought about the summer
heat problem -- the '87 has the alcantara sport seats and it's *freezing* in
Massachusetts right now, so the last thing on my mind when I loaded them at
Force5 was burning my biscuits (or my baby's biscuits) in the summer.  I've
never owned a car with black leather but now that it's been brought up I
might reconsider the color.  We'll see.  It seems almost a shame to get rid
of them because they're really quite nice, but I have some time to decide.

Thanks again, everyone.  As usual, the best advice money can't buy!

Cheers,
Alex
