Default Faded Corbeau A4 recovering/ dying

My car came with corbeau a4 suede seats, they are so faded badly to the point they look brown. I've been dumping money into my car so I mine as well fix these while I'm at it.

Has anyone recovered their seats with replacement covers or try to dye their seats?

How hard is it to pull the covers off ?
Will dying hold up? I don't want to worry about the dye coming off on clothing either.

New covers run about 180 a seat so dying would be cheaper


Opinions?

I've had Corbeau's in 2 other vehicles and they faded pretty bad after 2 years so I just replaced the covers since I was also worried the dye might transfer to clothing. The covers are easy to replace, mine had zippers, and if you let them warm up in the sun it makes it easier to get them on.
