Default Yes, there are dyes that will. There's a mask you apply first.

Long time since I seen it done so I can't remember the details, but they dyed the dash from black to a light grey to match the interior. Very impresive.

I started on the blue tooth install, but I've been traveling a lot and it's been darn cold outside to work.

Yeah, there are some leather shops around here, that would re-do them surprisingly affordably.

Default Unbelieveable!

Who would have thunk it?
How about calling this place and make inquiry?
http://www.colorplus.com/index.html
They have a good info brochure pdf too.
With out a doubt you will soon be adding "leather specialist" to your list of skills.
(could come in handy if you ever have hot babes dressed in leather over to the performance center serving champagne or something .. could happen!

Default I re-dyed my BMW last year (front and rear seats) and it came out great. Did a lot of research and..

"Leatherique" is one of the best out there. Can be applied by brush or sprayed. Very forgiving if you screw up... just wetsand. LOT of prep to sand the old dye off but a color change is no sweat.

Default Think I'm going to re dye them

Now that I have done the research (thanks to everybody here), it appears to be simple enough to re dye them to Ecru.
