nothing that wouldn't also mess up the leather. Go to a fabric or stitching shop and ask them.

From what I've read(for about an hour) on fabric dyes ... there isn't a feasible way to dye it without jacking the leather up, the best thing is do a sharpie and make sure it is pretty darn good job ...

buy new head rest or try and trade with someone would probably be your best bet

I think it would have to be re-stitched. I don't think there's a good way to do it while on the leather. And a sharpie will look bad, don't do it lol.

no it won't. It will look like you took a sharpie to it and you'll always have red coming through in different areas everytime anyone puts their head on it and moves the stitching a little.
