ColorGlo franchises are the way to go although if you have multiple in the area contact a few as the pricing does range a bit. $195 to re-dye my front seats and recondition the back. I'll post picks after it's done on August 2.

I'm very interested in seeing the results!

Here's the before and after shots using a ColorGlo franchise in Seattle.





There was also a 2" rip on the side of the driver's seat that I hadn't noticed that he fixed. I didn't get a before but here's the after.

Re-dyed the front seats and fixed the tear. Reconditioned the back because they were near new condition. $195+tax. Took just a little over an hour and they did it the parking lot of my workplace.

Did they re-dye the seatbacks as well as the seat cushions? Front and rear? I guess that's pretty good for $200.

That is strange. Both of the places I contacted replied within 24 hours. I'd try calling them.

Hi, The seats look great!! Pardon me for jumping in, but where did you get the new armrests? The color looks perfect! From Lexus, or did you have them redone?

Carver, 99RX, Shed:

How are your seat repairs holding up? Do they still look the same or have they begun to crack again?
