Ok I just won the auction on those leather seats for my accord, the problem is that I've got a blue interior and the seats are a light cream,tan color. I can't decide to have the seats dyed or do some changing on the interior. I just saw a picture of an acura nsx(quit drooling,I want one too) and the interior was blue and cream,tan like my seats. I thought it looked really good. I was thinking about leaving the seats like they were and changing the lower half of the door panels and tje carpet to match the seats. It doesn't sound good, but it looks good. what do ya'll think?

I don't give a rat's butt about the color..but I would have them dyed to match the existing interior, or just start looking for a nice parts car with the color of your choice. I was never keen on the blue, I've got three gray on gray and one white on burgandy accords..I know those gray Se-i seats are out there..somewhere..

The interior on the nsx is very close,except for the center console. It had the blue dash and the top half of the door panels were blue.

I would just lay the cover on the seat and see how it looks like that. I dont know how the dying process works but if they dont get it the right shade of blue its gonna look worse.

If I have them done it will be done by a company who knows what they are doing. I've seen leather dyed to every color of the rainbow.

I'm changing the lower half of the door panels to match the seats, the headliner is already tan material, and I'm changing the carpet to tan. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid43/p11f36fc5d02c77f9979435c170e5588d/fce67c7a.jpg ....................... here is the door panel, I've already done these once, i'm going to divide the lower blue into two styles of the same tan material. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid43/p05d21e062dfc13cbe2f74fc4230abcd0/fce67b41.jpg ...........this is the headliner color and this is the dash color http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid43/p532c23e554f6eef991ad37cca04b740c/fce67b40.jpg
