And it looks great. No more searching for Black Carpet. Since I wanted to do this out of the car, I cut the Tan carpet in two sections - Pass side and driver side. The hardest part was getting to the carpet behind the dash ( and I have my heater taken out during the lightening process long ago ). I removed the seats, center console, small kick panels, door sills, hatch/gas opener, driver foot rest, little panels on bottom of dash - and removed the carpet. Took several coats of the dye and drying time. Did it all in one day. Take some pics later. Cost - $25.

post some before and after pics...

 

damn i want to do that but for some reason i really like the tan interior..

yeah post pics of the before and after..

 

So you removed the heater to lighten the carpet but you still have carpet?

 

Ive found that the dye isnt for mint interiors

its kinda like rigging it

which did you use? if it doesnt come off at all then thats great but most fade out or rub off

 

Wow I was about to go outside and do mine today, but I think I'll wait to see your pictures to see how it turned out first. What brand dye did you use?

 

I used the Duplicolor Fabric Dye available at most automotive stores. Ive dyed my carpet about 1 year ago, and there is no fade. your going to want to get about 5 cans of it tho. About 4 bucks a pop.

i dyed mine almost a year ago....i should have just got it re-carpeted....it wears pretty easy....looks good but doesnt stand up to abuse very well.

 

someone post pics please, i'd like to see what it looks like completed
