Hmmm Red is a tricky colour only because there are so many different shades.... because you can not remove the seat cover as you could on a stock seat or something similar I would suggest a spray dye as I posted above. You can find them at many fabric shops, tuner shops and even canadian tire has a selection... the hardest part will tracking down a very close matching dye... don't buy the first can of red you see and it may take 3 or 4 diff cans before you find the right one. Take a pic of the seat with you when you shop for the dye, it will better your odds. when you find a red you belive is a match test first on the bottom or a side that isn't viewed just incase... if it's a match.... go for the rest. Follow the can's directions to the "t" Also carefull prep and tape work on your white letters will yeild better results. Take your time and don't rush.
good luck!

I've had good sucess with the spray dye.. just follow the instructions... a stock integra seat might yeild the above^ but the seat you posted is a different fabric all together.... it'll turn out fine..

Blaaa I tried to think up a way of explaining this earlier.... you'll just have to compare the 2 it's self explainitory.... the aftermarket seat is made from more of a flat?? material... like cloth... where as the stock seat is more of somthing along the lines of carpet on a small small scale.... sorry for the ghetto description. If you follow the directions IT WILL NOT COME OFF.
