I dyed the carpet black with that RIT stuff, it worked great on the carpet, horrible on the seats and the door panels, I plan to convert it to an S5 black interior... I am buying the doorpanels stereo surround and seat blets from markus from mazsport.net, and the S5 black leather seats are on ebay and I hope to win those.

Nice ride, gotta love the turbo verts! Maybe its just the lighting, but do you have a black hood on there? If so, I've had a red TII hood on my black vert since the swap, you wanna trade hoods? lol

haha, no the hood is actually a stock Shale blue color, its just sooo faded it looks kinda gray/weak black. I plan to get the entire car painted a light metallic silver. Much like the skyline in 2F2F
