Just had the local car dealers' leather repair guy over to work on my wife's '99. He did a magnificent job but it took him almost four hours to repair a couple small areas and dye them back. It also cost $150.00. He used a wide range of different products to acheive the desired color effect. He's a true pro. I'd guess most areas have such a specialist. Ask a local dealer or detailer who they use. Just a suggestion.
