Yes, it is the product. I talked to him and he said that he would have an auction every week so it would be available. He is working on the beige color and will have it soon. I will let you know when that happens. He is going to let me know as soon as it is done.

He said that there is enough to do the seats in a car, but the amount that most of us need will do several cars. A little goes a long ways. Good luck and let me know what you think of it. I hope it works out for you.

The same seller also offers two other products that are interesting
1) Hood Strut Support
2) Visor Clips

By the way, I ordered one of the leather kits, and will also post pics once I recieve it and get the seats done.

Significant Technical Input Registered SVX Classic SVX
Now Available In Beige

Both Earl and I have been in contact with the seller to tell him that he also needed to produce two colors of beige leather dye for the SVX, one for the seats and one for the steering wheel. I believe ensteele sent him a swatch of the seat leather and a piece of blown beige airbag for color matching.

The beige dye for the seats will be coming soon, but the darker beige for the steering wheel is available NOW.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUBAR...09057995QQrdZ1

I just bought this product and plan on trying it out on arrival. Let's see if it meets the svxcess standard for excellence. Either way I will give a full report.

I sent him both the beige and dark gray (black) from a blown airbag on the steering wheel. The beige leather will be coming next.

I have been very impressed with the colors that I have tried so far.

Did my seats last night. This stuff works great! Took me less than 1/2 hour to do the problem areas on the drivers seat and a couple of touch-ups on the passenger. Highly reccomended!!!!!!

The leather is actually just fine. The "cracks" you see are just the dye that sits on TOP of the leather. The only leather that I know if that is truely dyed is Connelly leather. Supposedly it's drum dyed and the color runs through the entire hide.

If you want to learn more about the process look at this PDF file:

Who is the eBay ID send2247? Is he a member here? He would have to be with 3 separate SVX "fixers" on eBay.
