Seat covers/upholstery - options

[G.T.]

My driver's seat center portion (perforated leather) is a bit less black than my other seats.

Not really wear, more of a reaction with a cleaner I used. Looks like some color had rubbed off.

Its kinda bothering me so I'm looking for OE covers on Ebay but it looks like those have dried up.

Any leads on covers? Open to any leads and/or suggestions.

EDIT: My seats are heated/cooled ebony with gray stitching.

How about just refinishing them?

I was going to suggest just redyeing them too. Seat Doctors offers factory colors.

I have seen some pretty worn seats restored to really good condition. If mine were faded or damaged this is what I'd try first.

As good as any of these products are they dont last, I did some recoloring to a seat bolster and it looked fabulous but in less than 6 months it had worn off. There are sealers that apparently can help but I have been told that most of these products are for used car dealers.

A good leather cleaner and protector should already be in your detailing arsenal. Add a good quality dye and these issues can be properly addressed. Of course new covers are always an option.

leather protectors aren't going to do anything for mechanical wear i.e. dragging your butt in and out of the seat and taking the dye off.

No one said it was but that’s not the OP’s issue. For his issue my recommendation would be to a possible solution.

Someone had chimed in before you saying the dyes don't last because it wears off rapidly.

When looking on eBay, do a search using new take-offs. I got a replacement set (New Take Offs) for my convertible much cheaper that the aftermarket solutions available at the time.

I did see quite a few sets for convertibles.

After looking though they dont fit the coupes. Fronts have different holes for the seat belt holder and rears are not split folding, IIRC.

Appreciate the heads up!

Yes, I was surprised that convertibles were listed more than coupe seat cover sets as well. You would think Shelby, and such companies would be updating coupe seats a lot more than convertibles.
