Seat cover alternative?

Im thinking about changing up my interrior ...ALOT and i dont want seat covers, or even new seats. Im thinking fabric dye, automotive quality. I dont imagine dying tan seats black would be even remotely difficult. but im lost as to which dye to choose.

You mentioned that the seats are fabric. I strongly suggest that you don't try to dye them. Although some products will change the color, they will usually leave the fabrics with a stiff feel and undesireable texture. Most seat fabrics are made up of nylon or polyester and don't take well to dyes. Sorry, I know thats not what you want to hear but being in the upholstery trade for 30 years, I have redone several attempted dye jobs that people have tried. It wasn't pretty.

Not much options for what your wanting.

So I'm going to through out to you some seat covers that I have in my '06 supercrew...and I absolutely love them! They are NOT like the seat covers you know that walmart sells. These fit perfectly and have are tight on the seat. And you have many options. They aren't cheap, but that's the reason they are not, because they are perfect.
