    OP, did you just spray the carpet? Because truly dyed fabric does not become hard, it stays soft.
    I have tried Dupli's fabric spray, hate it absolutely. Turns fabric into synthetic lawn.

    Digging the clean engine bay.
    Good job!
    same^
    i did my rear shelf and it turned super stiff instead of plush

    You should put black headliner in the 318is!

    This carpet started out Natural, but it will work with any color.

    1. Remove carpet
    2. Clean by wetting and scrubbing with Awesome (available at Dollar General)
    3. Rinse thoroughly
    4. Allow to dry completely
    5. Dye with Dupli-Color Fabric and Vinyl Spray
    6. Install in car

    Done!
