You will be greatly disapointed if you dye the seats. The paint used
doesn't wear very good, and will chip, fade, and crack alot quicker than
the original finish.
Get a set of properly clored V8 seats then transfer the controls from
your old seats.
V8 sport seats are about half the cost of S4/S6 seats.
