Can you post pics of this special Dye, 9 out of 10 times leather can not be painted nor Sprayed dyed. Its a very elaborate process.

2nd pic looks like an 80s bmw 1st being a ton newer, just lol'd at that since i have an 88 vert (325iC motorsport) white on tan and an 89 coupe (M3) white on blood

red and black gutts end up being very hot (good hot as in nice looking), hope your "bentley died" seats don't make you look like a killer

White on red should look pretty good. It will make the GS look more exotic-- like a Bentley. IMO I think you should try and make the red a bit darker if possible.

I agree, a few tones darker Red to match the wood better
