What color of Dye did you use and where did you get it. I wanted to do the same thing

I've looked and never found anything for our cars. The dealer may be able to get new carpet, but I'm sure it costs an arm and a leg.

I redid my carpet in black but they have other colours. I bought eight bottles of the RIT fabric dye from micheals or any craft store, one rubbermaid container big enough to fit my carpet inside, dissolved the dye and a half cup of salt into about 25l boiling water or however much you need to soak the carpet and let it sit for a day. Clean your carpet well before you dye it an put the carpet into the dye a section at a time scrubbing the dye in with a brush as you go until completely in and use a rock or two to hold it under.

It looks great and so much better than the dirty tan it was before, i even dyed the floor mats. They have been holding up great for 6 months now.

I cleaned the carpet with a power washer, scrub brush, and oxy clean which made it look brand new tan but i wanted black.

was there a foam pad connected to the bottom of the carpet or was it just the molded carpet itself

this is a damn good idea!!! i was just thinking about this. i hate my stained up tan carpet. was it easy to rip it all out?? and what about re-install?? does it attach with clamps/glue/etc...I'm not familiar with how car carpet is installed. thank you for your input...

Excellent idea the whole oxi clean and power wash, perhaps I'll give that a go instead.

Thanks for the feed back it looks like quite a few individuals benefited.

I worked on it for a total of 1:45 Minutes for the whole car
The results are OK.. but much cleaner overall. still could use pulling the seats and getting whats under them and behing the rails where my attachment was just to big
