Yeah the spray can fabric **** is terrible. makes it feel rough as **** and always smells like hell. Whats wrong with the factory seats? torn or stained? If not the si recaro's look good factory :P

i dont remember if he did or not, but like sumone already said it does wind up feelin rough. I mean if u wanna do it find sumtin to test it out on first and youll see and feel what it does.

yea if ur seats are a dark color like black or blue, then paintin red over em is not gonna turn out right. noticed the guy in the video painted black over tan seats. thats why his turned out so good

word ^^^ pretty much like everone here has said either leave them alone or buy some red seats..pluse if you were to paint "die" i think that stuff over time would come off onto your cloths ya know
