So, I have the all black 2011 Full Tilt High Fives. Im getting tired of the plain black. I want to dye them, but i dont know if the dye will soak in/show up on the black plastic.

Anyone tried dyeing black stuff?

this might help... it is harder to go from a darker color to a lighter color.

You can dye lighter plastics with dark dye, dark plastics don't absorb lighter color dyes.

It won't work.

You can only go lighter.

I dont know if anyone has tried stuff to lighten them up though, like if there is a way to "bleach" plastic to make it a lighter color

Use plastidip or spray paint. I was surprised to hear that spraypaint actually holds up.
