Yep, didn't take the seat apart at all.

did the process they used include sanding (scuffing) the seat and then dying it? I had the factory seats done in my integra one time and the guys did a really crappy job.

We scuffed it and then cleaned it up with a couple different items before dying. Like I said, we don't take short cuts in what we do. We also added some things to the dye, which to my knowledge, nobody else does. That's how we get the outcome we do.

How do they hold up against wear and tear? Any color rubbing on white shirts?

The seats will hold up but just like anything else, if they aren't taken care of, they'll wear out quicker. The dye won't come off the seats though. Again, we don't half ass what we do. We wouldn't be in business very long if we did. Anything can look good if you do it right and take the time to do it. As far as the white shirt goes, no dye will appear on it.

Great job
Do it right or don't do it at all. I feel the same way. I wish all shops would abide by that rule.

Very cool. What products were used and how were they applied?
