you wont find hot pink/black seats in the for sale section. you'll need to go to a custom upholstery shop.

not really. its just a matter of ordering the leather kit and then dying it.

it will probably be over $1000 though.

i got a quote for white/black two tone for 1200 bucks. you can find a little cheaper. Best bet would be to buy from katskinz.com the color you want for like 600 i think then pay someone to put them on your current seats.

buying leather seats off here will cost you about a grand then another grand for the custom colors..

I would say 400 to 800 bucks if you can find a sweet shop in your area.

That's what others have paid.

Don't you have foriegn low cost shops out there?

I'd prolly check out what katskin offers. Do you want like a hot pink "suede" in the center and black on the outside?

In my opinion, it will look good. There are others who have recovered there seats with suede I believe. Should look good as long as you don't over do the pink.
