I am planning on changing my OEM Seat covers(which are beige kindasad.gif ) to the OEM SS-III seat covers in the near future. I found a seller that has the complete set(I will buy them in the next couple of weeks), here are some photos.



My question is, is it difficult to just changing the seat covers?

Not hard at all. I cheated and used JDM zip ties in place of the hog rings when I reupholstered the seats in my project car.

Glad to hear that it isn't that difficult. Now I have another question. Since my Seats are beige, so are these...




Is there any way for me to replace those with ones to match the SS-III seats?

For those I would either paint yours to match or just grab some from the junkyard that are black.

I have some vinyl and fabric paint (Duplicolor, I think) that is actually a very close match for our interior. Works well on plastic and isn't too glossy.

I've been thinking about using that to spray my whole interior of my RA. I've seen some good results but I'm wondering how well it will hold up in high traffic areas.

My experience with the fabric (primarily the carpeting) is that wears off after a while and you are left to respray if you want to keep it looking fresh.. which you basically would be lol
