Regarding the lumbar I cut sponge and shoved in there then put duck tape to hold in. Then cut sponge about 1/4 inch thick and same size as entire hole and glued. Then cut a piece of vinyl about 1in wider than the entire hole and after that I did liquid stitch. With it being right next to the seam it was harder than the other spots. When I have more time I plan on using more liquid stitch to even it out but for now it will do

doing something similar, Sem black and Palomino. I have tan s2000 seats in my car which is why I decided to go with palomino. They are a closer match than the lighter stock tan.

It is a better improvement than before, I might add on the seat fix.

Major set back. When I originally started I painted part of the plastic with SEM to see how it would hold up and it did fine even with taking tape off. Anyways yesterday we taped off a few areas to fix and when we removed the tape from the plastic it peeled the paint off. So now Ive got to remove the paint and find a color that will come close to matching and will stick to plastic. The fun of DIY

Default Sem

I am doing something similar with my car ,except I am having my seats reupholstered black n tan
If part of your paint came off on the plastic I would bet it has something to do with the prep . It is essential to follow the prep instruction totally or the paint won't adhere properly . Good luck bro
Btw what was the color of the tan SEM. Does it match our dash tan very well. Thanks tom
