  1. Need some help with my complete seating/Front and back.
I have a 2006 GS 430 and my seats are damaged,so I am try to figure out if the 2014 GS F seats could possibly work on 2006 GS,someone has a complete back and front seat with a very reasonable price of $400,with minor scratches of which I can re dye...other than that it's in immaculate condition.

Buy it try it on and if it doesnt fit resell them for a higher price. $400 is a killer deal for a complete interior.

If you wanted to make more money you can split the parts and sell them separately on ebay. 1 headrest can fetch you from $50-150! So youre not taking a huge risk, I say go for it.

picking up in the morning and I already called autoleatherdye.com to mix me the color to re dye these seats,the color is called LB -30 which is the cabernet..I am excited to see how they come out.
I looked at the video on the site,its a cake walk for me to do as I am very hands on..let me share a picture of the seats.

Re dying doesnt work for long term. Eventually the stuff fades, chips, or even cracks from my personal results and I have tried many brands. It looks ugly after several months to a year.

How about using all the interior bits? I mean if you had black door cards that would match that color.

My original interior is ash seats and black trim with black dash,so I am thinking these new seats has the black background and will match,however I am still worried about re dyeing as you mentioned about the fading.

What panels do you think you need to color change on? If your door panels are grey you can sell your old ones, and the 4GS and buy some used black ones.

You picked up one hell of a deal with that F sport interior!

I can just color my panels with the LB-30 cabernet,partial color to match seats,too much work to take out and re install.
Just re dye the few pieces and some of my panels are already black,so I think it will look good.

Looking at the picture is a dissatisfaction,just the feel and natural looks is very mind pleasing,these seats are about 5 yrs old and it looks like brand new,about a 81/2 from 10.
I love them,one thing,the harness are different at the bottom of seat for cold,heat and forward/backward.
Taking it to a shop later on to figure out which way I wanna go,switch harness or something...
any idea guys??

You can pull up wiring diagrams for many of the cars. See if they have a seat diagram that way you can compare to newer and splice your old connector to your new seat.
