try to get him to trade back before dying the seats.. it'll eventually rub off and you'll see the grey through it. then it'll look much worse.

Did you pick them up from the guy you traded them for?
Kinda your own fault for not noticing the color difference.

In his defense, for some reason 97-99 guy's believed at one point their cars were "ebony" because at the time, that was as dark of a color option as they could get.

Regardless, the seats look to be in good condition, sell them and find yourself a set of ebony seats.

Gray leather isn't worth much, ebony is.

I would be highly upset.

Sorry you got screwed man, but i would not dye the seats. It will eventually wear off anyway. I would either try getting my money back or selling them and buying a set of ebony. Good luck
