How would you go about cleaning it? I don't think i could do it. I got kids. So, that interior would be trashed after 1 hour..

dayam looks crazy, like other peeps said, cant wait for the pics in the car. I hope it wont look ricey. Kind of reminds me of a White ITR with red interior. Imo it will either look REALLY good or really bad.

If the seats were a bit more "bucket" looking like a Recaro SRD or something, that would definetely look sick.

i dyed one of my old integra's leather and the spots i didnt touch often worked out very well but the ones i constantly was touching,rubbing,using....very soon showed signs of wear and i cant imagine yours/this wont also

well said but the issue ISNT just looking good its keeping it looking good. if it starts to fade/rub off like i think it will, then who wants to constantly keep taking their interior out to re-spray this? not trying to be betty buzzkill but i have tried leather "dye" before it wasnt special nor long lasting

GL op im in for some more pics before i decide....and then a 6 months pic
