Are there products you can recommend to dye this? BTW you cant feel the imperfections. Everything feels smooth to the touch.

Try leatherique but the standard color for your leather is not going to match your aged leather perfectly but it will still be a improvement.

+1 leatherique or I also love Color plus. They are water based dyes and easy to apply.

Those leather pieces are urethane coated not dyed, not sure what would happen if you tried to dye certain areas.

There could be a very slight difference in the sheen from the dye to your standard leather since the leather in cars is topped with a urethane protectant. Considering that leather changes color when it ages and is exposed to the elements I would not expect a perfect match though it would look much better then what it looks like now.
