The interior in my Road Runner is nice except for the driver seat. I hate the thoughts of changing the whole interior because of it. Has anyone tried to "age" a new bottom to try to match the rest of the interior? What did you use and how did you do wear patterns / break shiney-ness? My interior is M6S pewter & black.

1. Swap the bottom. 2. Go on a week long road trip. 3. Eat every meal at Taco Bell for that week. Follow those three steps & your new seat bottom will be well aged in just seven days.

Barry's suggestion might only take 2 days. lol
Since it's the drivers seat it gets used the most and it's going to wear much faster anyway. So just let it wear naturally. That's probably why it's wore out and the rest are okay.

They're super worried that the color match will be horrible. Have thought of tying it behind a 4 wheeler and dragging it through a mowed hay field.

White Castle also works good too... Another place I've never eaten. Maybe a good thing.

The best way would let it run wild in Canada for awhile, I can pick it up at Carlisle and bring it back to you next year. I may need tire money though.
Dave No problem with that idea. Tire money you'll have to earn yourself though by working at Taco Bell or White Castle.
