I dyed my steering wheel and the results are awesome. So, I thought I'd buy some leather dye, since my driver's seat has some wear on the bolster. My interior is flame red, for an 87. Specified that, bought the kit.
First thing I noticed is the kit looks like something a 3rd grader would put together with a chemistry set and his Dad's PC to make the labels. And it worked just about as well.
It's not a dye, it's a paint. And what's worse, the color match is not there, it's about 10 shades off, it's kind of a pink.
The kit is open and used, I have no shot of getting anything back from Ecklers, but I'm warning you guys, if you're looking at dying your seats, stay away from Ecklers. I'm very surprised and disappointed that Ecklers didn't do any quality control on this stuff. I guess Ecklers figures buyer beware. I figure I won't be using Ecklers.


Did you try to contact them? And at least tell them about the problem? I bought a vynil grand sport stripping kit from them one time.. I specificly asked does this kit require painting the stripes or is it a complete vynil stripe kit. They said no it looks like it is a complete kit with the center stripe...

So When I got it I was really excited to put it on. I installed the red hash marks, they came out awesome.. so I we to installing the rest of the kit which was on 2 sperate sheets. I roll it out to find it is a "pin striping kit" (like an replica for the original) I called them, talked to the same lady that took my order and explained the problem, I used part of the kit not knowing / not looking at the rest of the kit. she said send back what I didn't use ect.. the credited me for the whole deal... so I would probably buy from them again, if I really needed something and couldn't find a good deal on it somewhere else...

So anyway I would call them and see...
