The leatherique dye is good stuff. It also makes your faded vinyl look like new! Of course, I have a black interior.

As to swapping the seat backs, that's an excellent idea to amortize wear across both seats. I've done this by taking new leather from a 996 seat and putting it on my manual driver's seat back.

This is not hard to do, but is time consuming. You disconnect the battery, remove the four bolts of both seats, remove the seats, then start by taking off the center back panel with the pocket in it and the center bit where your back rests. Then you'll see how the leather clips to the frame.

What you cannot easily do is take the hinge of the seat apart and swap the backs out that way. I never could figure out how it came apart and I don't think it can be separated without a hack saw. I could be wrong on that though.
