Default leather dye: easy, hard, woth it?

found a nice, almost new set of frost power leather seats for 400 shipped...The only problem is my interior is black and the frost color is not even logical. I know you can dye leather, i know many people that do leather belts and other such items but seats appear to be a little more intense than a belt. Has anybody ever done this is, it a job that should be done by a pro? thanks for the input

I test drove a 350z with black interior but frost leather seats installed. When you think about it you imagine it would look horrible, but seeing it in person is a big difference.

Try looking for pics with that setup. Dying leather seems like it would be an annoying process.

You want to buy white seats and color them black? Sounds absurd.

i would trade for black but the price for decent quality leather seat covers is nearly 500 a set. For that i could just buy a set of black. Anybody know if roadster seats work in the coupe cause i found a nice set out of a wreck convert here locally
