You can dye the carpet by getting a LARGE trashcan from Lowes or Depot, filling it 1/2 way with water, and dumping in like 4 packages of black RIT dye...stir it up real well, then put the carpet in and let it sit for a few hours (or overnight like we did). TaDa! black carpet.

Tip: after you pull it out, spray it down with water (preferably at a car wash) several times to get the residual dye out.

Then let it dry and reinstall it.


Edit: You can do this to your seat covers too...but you have to take them off the seats to do it.

I was going to recommend SEM dye. Best I've found for vinyl and plastic.

edit: So what's the plan for getting black buttons/*****? (cruise, interior lights, etc - on the left side of the steering column)

cloth paint will typically ruin your clothes. it did to me. just wait until you sweat through your shirt in the summer time.

I just did my back seat with this stuff heres how it turned out.

after



I just painted it to match my black interior conversion, so I wont be keeping it for too long once I get the money for an ITR backseat this will be gone.
