Looks pretty good to me. Do you ever do any work, MINITOR?

 

What do you mean, I'm at work right now?

My boss read a statistic to me that the average employee cyberslacks about 6 hours a week. I acted surprised, but couldnt help but laugh inside because I honestly cyberslack about half the time. Good thing a do my job very well and everyone loves me here

 

My friend's office IT guy said that the most visited website by the office is ESPN.com.

 

Wow. I'm impressed. Let us know how it holds up.

 

Sorry for the late post but another alternative is www.leatherique.com they have leather dies and restoration kits. You send them a small piece of leather and they color match it. In your case, find a piece of leather from the under side of the passenger seat and get a perfect match that won't come off.

I certainly hope your method works, but if you have any issues down the road, www.leatherique.com might be another solution.

Thanks for the link. I just checked it out though and their kit is also leather paint, but costs $175 for the whole car kit!!! I've been told by many different sources that you cannot dye finished leather, you can only paint it as leatherique.com also shows.

 

Nice Job MINITOR

 

I regularly use Dupli-Color's Vinyl & Fabric Coating on boat restorations. So many boats come to me with mildew spots on the seats & trim that are impossible to remove, even with bleach. The spray completely hides any type of stain and can completely change the vinyl color from light to dark or vice-versa. The pigment dyes the surface somewhat as well as bonds to it, but it's not a true dye. It weathers well if maintained with quality vinyl conditioners/protectors and especially with 303 Protectant. It lasts much longer on a boat if the boat is covered or garaged. Some application notes...apply too heavily and it will run like thin paint...wait 12-24 hours before applying vinyl protectant or 303. Other brands work well...but Dupli-color is usually stocked locally at Auto Zone or Pep Boys for $5.99 per can. I have never applied it to leather...only vinyl. Again...this is not a true leather/vinyl dye.

 

The Minitor,

Looks much better then before! How does the seat feel on long trips? I am thinking of getting a replacement driver seat for my mini. Would want something that hugs me more. Just need to figure out how to get around the 05 air bag light as it has more wires then the older models.

I love it, but I usually sit very upright with normal seats as well. If you are used to reclining a bit then the Evo is not for you. It hugs me just right though. I would reccomend trying out someone elses before you get one though. I thought about getting a couple Corbeau seats and I went to sit in one and that specific model was way to tight, and then I tried a different model and it wasnt tight enough. It would be easy to get a seat that doesnt fit you if you dont try it first. Personally I love the Evo though, on long trips as well.

 

I am only 5'8 with a 32 inch waist so I do not think I would have a hard time fititng into the smaller seats. I am interested in the Corbeau Fonza seat. For the price you can not go wrong. I might call up Helix and ask if they have any in stock or he I can swing up there and test on out if they have any. The only issue right now is getting around the air bag light for an 05 car. I should not worry as the darn thing is already on anyway for the last few months on the stock seats! But I would like to get something for daily driving that hugs me well and be able to use it time to time maybe on the track if I go that route. I hate how I slide on the stock sport seats when I go to turn etc!

I have a 33 inch waiste but the Corbeau CR1 was too tight, you cant really believe the specs and should try them out first, though I think the Forza is bigger. You can find a local Corbeau dealer here: http://www.corbeau.com/dealers/dealer.shtml

 

I remember hearing a stastic that one of the top issues companies and agencies in the Washington DC area had, is keeping good people.

Minor cyberslacking can almost be considered an unwritten fringe benefit, in order for a company to keep good people.

 

Possibly the only reason I am still at my job.
