Looks great!! How long did that take you to do?

Notice: new mats have the exact color code BUT is a shade different... either from fade, color process/manufacturing changes in 20 years. But I’m happy with them and I’m using the old set for inclement weather that I’m dyeing.

Rear seats are nice just needing a good detailing

Old

New obviously...

About 2 hrs... letting coats tacky dry between coats.
I’m taking the seat out for another coat & the sealant coat(not 100% necessary they say but I’m doing it soon anyway). I’ve used it before on other cars and it lasts anywhere between 2-5 years without touch up. Dependent on prep and procedure!
I’ll try and make a video of the process when l’ redo it.

Also to answer the question about the cost to do the seats... with everything from SEM dye, cleaner, filler, sand paper etc it was about $40-50

I’m getting Tundra 20” wheels and they should be on before next weekend

Bought the wheels but not the tires yet. I’m going to modify the Lexus center cap per the instructions on the site and see how this fits first. Also my lady wants to keep the oem wheels. BUT nope!

It’ll look better with the 20” imo...

Was there a particular dye/filler color/part number? I have a ratty armrest tip in the same color.

SEMS DYE... color Ivory
Acrylic filler was A khaki color(any acrylic filler will do)
*also tried silicone recently on my rear tundra seat crack and it has held up for 2 weeks greatly and it may be my new filler..(read about using that here I’m thinking)...

Still cleaned, sanded, cleaned again, filled, scuffed lightly, and dyed.. and sealed if you like
