Shipping a seat can be so expensive. I'll give my dye a shot, but let you know if i change my mind. thanks for the offer!!

by the way, did you modify the front of your seat (looks like you might have?) at all to allow for the side panels to drop fully w/o hitting on the seat? I'm going to have to file mine back on each side and re-fit the fabric some to allow for full functionality...

Sorry I missed you question about modifying the seat. It wasn’t necessary. Just lucked out I guess

I got some new decals in last week and finally found time to put them on. Still waiting on the HONDA emblems for the shelter.

That looks dynamite, Mike. Did you order new emblems or send off the old ones for restoration?
