          believe it or not, I was extremely skeptical but I ended up buying them off ebay...

          The company used to be Bride's source and through the end of their relationship they kept the molds and all the specs... so they're "kinda brides" but I tell ya... They Hug like CRAZY!!! lol


          I now understand why people say, "Seats were the best driver mod I've ever put in the car. Period"

                  the back seat delete is quite extravagant... I went to a fabric store, bought some gray/charcoal felt, cut it, and simply tucked it into the lower carpet and the upper shelf.
                  then I cut 2 round holes for the seat belts, so they dont flop around. Easiest seat delete ive ever done, looks ok IMO.

                  as for the carpet, I took 24 year old tan carpet and sprayed it with VHT maroon dye, the realized that it wasnt quite close enough for the cardinal, so I left the rear piece maroon, and resprayed the larger part (2 sides) with VHT black... Most reviews I read before I did the job, stated that the carpet would be hard and crunchy, this is not the case! If you take your time, wear some old socks and use a heavy plastic brush and brush and "wipe" your feet all over it as soon as youve sprayed the entier carpet... itll turn out clean and un-crunchy

                  as far as your idea, If you really want a (cardinal) red carpet, then just try to find one, if not the contrast of red doors to black/grey carpet is quite nice IMO...

                  good luck, thanks for the comments.

                      As far as the dye, I used 6 total cans. 4.25 for the front piece, and 1.75 for the rear piece... I believe they were $9+shipping each off amazon before I realized a local paint shop had them...
