Apologize for reviving an old thread, but I have the same wear in my Savannah beige DD. Just curious as to how it’s holding up and is this still the best kit or is there another to purchase that may have a closer color match (although admittedly pics usually don’t show the true look) thanks!

Wow, this is certainly a blast from the past. It’s holding up extremely well, 4 years on. The color actually matches perfectly - it just takes a little time to age (probably not more than a few months). I’d take some photos for you, but the car is away in the North Georgia mountains getting its engine refreshed...
islaTurbine, thanks for the tip!

I'm very happy with the color match, although it's not perfect, it's very close (I didn't expect a 100% match with 15 year old leather seats). The biggest difference is that the new color is is flat, while the old finish has a sheen to it. Leather-world does make a "medium-sheen" finish so I'll probably get some of that and apply it later, if the existing stuff doesn't "buff up"
