It would seem that an auto upholstery specialist should be able to dye your existing tan seats black.

I would expect the "leather" is a cover that can be replaced without switching out the seat frame. I had a car one time that was broken into and the broken glass cut the leather. They replaced the leather portion and they simply slide onto the existing frame.

the reason i wanna change from tan to black is i work in the oil patch and u can see every little spot on the seat when it gets dirty . I live in southren alberta where we see up to +45 C in the summer but it doesnt bother me if my seats get a little hot in the summer. Plus i like the look of black leather over tan
