Default 06 xA front seat/back seat fabric accents recoloring?

Okay. Well, it's time to mod the car already. But there aren't many things I really want to do to the exterior yet. And, well, for the interior, there's only one thing I can think of right now besides adding neon accents.

I wanna extend the red of my car to the interior (Salsa Red Pearl). And, what better way to do that than to color the seats? Well, here's the thing. I dunno if I wanna get racing seats, or just completely new seats, for my car that are already colored red. I actually like the stock seats—they're stylish and comfy. But the inside section of the seat has the wrong color fabric.

So, is there any easy way to get a red replacement fabric to put over those sections? I don't want to make it look half-assed, I want it to look professional and clean—but is it possible? And I don't want to switch out for the RS1.0 seats, because it's the wrong tint of red.

What do you guys think would work?

I hate to bump this, but I really would love any help that anyone can give me. Tips, suggestions, that kind of thing. I really want to make my Marguerite as individualized as possible.

Run it by an automotive upholstery shop. Hopefully there's one in your area. They could give you a professional opinion and quote on the cost of this mod. Be sure to post what you find out.

i dont think there is an easy option for this. if you want it to look good, you need it professionally reupholstered.
