Got the inspiration from a fellow member here. I do not recommend doing the seats because I believe they are not meant for leather (GMC BLACK) even if it says its for leather. I did this for fun because I had Clazzio covers on the way. The rest of the car has been taking a beating for three months from children and friends that hop along for rides. If you guys need an absolute proof of how durable it is I can make a video scratching it with different things......
I understand it is a LEXUS but cmon guys....if it was worth $20K+ I would definitely not SPRAY PAINT OR DYE anything on the car. The car is getting old and a lot of the interiors come in TAN. This was just an option that I decided to try out. I understand people will bash on it because it is spray painted but its what I wanted and I used decent material, its not like I went to walmart and tried out a flat black Krylon paint.... These things are pretty expensive for a can. (SEM)
I am not trying to enter car shows or building to make it onto a magazine/features, I am just customizing my car to my liking and to restore it. I will take high quality photos this weekend with my dslr...
Here is the link for the DIY I got my motivation from.

Here is a quick update of the progress with my car. I have lots of pictures hopefully will find time to upload this weekend. It's gone through a lot in the past few months. Did a full 90k maintenance, found oem black parts for my interior, finally started fitting the rims, and in the process of a color change. I hope it will be done before class starts which is by the end of the month lol.
