Ok. Well Im gonna use the dye and since Im on a budget too, Ill see how well it colors the carpet. Ill try it under the seat and see if it works good.diablostang said:I did it with Duplicolor satin black Vinyl / Fabric paint (Label says that, don't use it on fabric, it'll only make your fabric stiff and scratchy.) It's an exact match for the 94-98 black interiors. My black console is from a 97, my black carpet is from an 03 (My carpet is actually Charcoal, the lighter black.. But I'm on a tight budget, so I had to deal with waht I could get)
