If i remember correctly they are actually sewn together. I dont think you can just take the center section out. You would have to take the whole seat cover off and take it to a upholstery shop and see what they can do for you. They should be able to take care of it though pretty easily.

You would have to take it to an uphostery shop and have them redone. Or maybe find a really good set of seat covers.

hahaha Yeah,I like Islandsi's idea

But yeah,try and find a good upholstry shop in your area and see what they can do for you. If you lived near me I would reccomend you to this guy near me that I know. He does awesome work on car,trucks,and boats.

Some guy on here recently posted pics of a how-to install on del Sol seats, and he dyed his seats black. He used some kind of dye from an auto parts store. That's another option. Reupholstering is probably best, but it could be a temp solution until you find a good shop to do your seats or something.

Search, noobie. You can get fabric dye anywhere they sell fabric. I'm sure there are application instructions on the bottle and, assuming you know how to read, I'll just bet you can follow them to a T and get a decent result.

Enjoy.

God I hate that word. Just cause my post count is like 7, dosent mean I'm a noob. I've been i this field for 8 years now. Maybe this is some special dye. Maybe there are instrutions to apply the dye to the "Del Sol" seat. You helped my this much: "."

I wouldn't trust dye... what happens when it gets really hot and/or humid? Does the color come off on your clothes?
