I'm looking for an all black replacement seat cover. I see Skinz has one, but they have their huge logo on it, and I don't care for that. They want 6-8 weeks to make one all black.
The other option is the yamaha seat cover in the accessory catalog. http://www.yamahapartshouse.com/oem...fa6645f870021d44264fa0/apex-vector-seat-wraps
I'm trying to find out how the storage flap is secured, and have not found anyone that can give me the answer. Is it using the same little twist lock downs? Or Velcro like the Skinz?
I'd like to have the twist lock downs again.
Thanks for any information.

I used the SEM brand primer and vinyl dye and dyed the gray stripe black, on my 06 apex back in 08.
It still looks like new , all black no gray wear spots.
If you can get a good price on the skins cover i would suggest to dye the logo black.
Real real easy job. If you can spray a can of paint you can dye the seat cover

Just looking for an all black cover. I'd even go with the original equipment if there was a year that was all black that would fit my stock 06 gt seat. I'd rather not paint if I can help it...........

Lots of guys have dyed their seats on here with good results, and others have taken it to an upholsterer to replace the colored patch with black. If you went the second route you could add or replace the foam too to tailor it to your needs.

Its not paint its dye.
Whats your fear of dying it?
Its been done by many on here with great results.
My seat has 9000+ miles on the dye job. Matches perfect still looks like new. If you can find a cheap cover and dye it, this Resolves your issue real cheap.
I can post a few pics if you need to see it

Crappy picture of my dusty seat but you get the idea.
If your familiar with an 06 apex seat you will know the big patch down the side was once a silver stripe
