Carpet Replacement

I don't think black carpet would look right...just my opinion (i've had tan interior before, by the way)

I plan to go with black carpet (maybe do it next winter) in my tan interior. But I also plan to paint a lot of the interior black, and maybe eventually get fresh black leather for the seats too. Tan just does not do it for me.

If you really want the black, go for it. If you are just doing it for wear, go with tan. You can always redo the carpet after 4 or 5 years when it gets ratty again.

So has anyone ever heard of putting a black carpet into tan interior? I'm kind of scared. I mean the top half is black, maybe it would match? Inputs anyone?

Have you thought about how or if you're going to glue it down

the past few days i've been getting pissed off b/c i have some raised sections and don't know how to get rid of them- any suggestions?

I just did mine a few weekends ago w/ a friend and it wasent to hard. When you get it take it out of the box it will be all stuffed in there and let it air out for awhile. Take out the seats, center console, unbolt where the seat belts go into that are between the seats and the console, you need a torx bit to do that I belive its a 45 that will also undo the brackets that hold down the rear seat belts. Take off the kick pannels as well. When putting it in the most PITA part was cutting the holes for the bolts in the seat, cut the holes big enogh the first time around so your not going back to have and do it again. If you have any questions feel free to PM me the process is still pretty clear in my head since I just did it.

I dident use any glue on mine.

i plan on putting some black carpet in my red interior

I changed my carpet last fall and it wasnt that hard to do , youo just have to do a little trimming with a razor blade because they give you lots of extra and you have to also punch holes for the seat track bolts to go thru.

I went from a grey carpet to a black carpet but I have also changed seats to 01 cobra seats.
