        So you dyed the carpet? I heard it could be done but never seen one. I did my seat (filled in the cracks and dyed same color). Looked great! but then they started to crack again months later. Either I just did not care of it well or this stuff has short term expectancy.

            Ok, fuck buying another used carpet, I'm spraying mine. Levent, are you using the same stuff to dye the carpet as you used for the rear deck?

                Here you go:

                -clean carpet
                -mask surrounding areas
                -spray it
                -let it dry

                Yes, it really is that easy. Some also like to use a bristle brush before it cures to separate the fibers.

                      Carpet looks great. Thinking about doing the same thing to mine. A little more detail on what type of dye was used would be great.
