Am I the only one who don't mind the blue seats? Maybe I'm just a ricer haha oh well it does look good in terms of the work you've done so props on that!

I wanna see someone use darker paint like black. I like my 9 seats best but sometimes I wished they made it all suede without the leather accents like the 8 seats.

I'm at work and can't see your pictures but judging from the comments, this is something I can't miss.

FYI those paint pens you mentioned flake pretty bad. Make sure you test it on an old towel or something. You may need to find a red dye like what you used on the centers & brush it on. Whatever you do just test it on something first. By the way the centers look great. That was my biggest issue with the VIII seats.

LOL^

as for other colors: there is a member on here who dyed his black inside. they were cool too. but i liked the two-tone color combo similar to CF better than just solid black.

they also make it in blue, red, black, tan, and light silver.

the color i used was Duplicolor Charcoal Grey #HVP111 and it was about 6.50 a can. i only needed two full cans.

and when you used the downey sheet afterward, you might get some downy residue left on the seat, but just take a wet hand towell and rub it in. i even thought about dampening some liquid downy in a hand towell and then using that cause it would go deeper than just the surface.
