Most dyes are intended for natural fabric (cotton, hemp, wool), and won't adhere to synthetics unless they're VERY porous. The fabric in our cars is little more than extruded nylon or rayon or a host of other plastic products. Neither is porous, and NEITHER accept dyes well. We're sorta stuck with one of two options. A.)Replace the seats with something we like. B.)Reupholster.

I'm going with Plan B when I get the outside finished, and possibly add lumbar supports if I can find a kit to build them into the seats. I really like the one in the bench seat of my F-150, except it leaks down over time. No biggie, though, just push the button, and it's pumped back up. Either that, or just put a permanent one in by adding foam.
