Looking for heated front sport seats for a Coupe or Sedan in good shape. Thanks for keeping an eye out for me.

I have a lead on coupe seats. They are not heated which i prefer. They do have lumbar, but I'm not sure if that will work with the existing wiring.

It's hard to tell how bad the driver's left bolster is. Owner says they are in storage and doesn't have better pics. He estimates 7/10.
Any thoughts?

He found a picture. Definitely needs a repair/dye.

Agreed. Didn't look that bad on the first pic. Are you going to pass on this set ?

I'm very tempted as they are so hard to find.

If you are gonna redye, perhaps it makes sense to find mint black/gray seats and just them professionally redone?

I have some concern about the dye's staying power, etc. the tan seats I have would be a good starting point, but I've talked to at least one person who recommended against it. I'm unsure of the best route.

I'm getting negative feedback on dye job (via other means than this thread).

I wouldn't do it Shawn. You won't be happy with it.

Care to share? Is it the longevity of the dye?

^ I think that it part of the worry. And matching the color. Some have recommended redyeing the whole interior to try and make it match better. This is the guy that I use locally. I need to have him put eyes on the car and give me his opinion also. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mirror-Image-Paint-Solutions/258369717530450

I'm leaning towards the coupe seats (which need some repair/dye also), and then keeping my eye out for sedan seats.
