Hard to get a pic now that it's black, but it's a HUGE relief not to have stained beige carpet anymore. Went super easy, though I would recommend 4 cans to anyone doing this. (5 cans if doing the rear shelf.)
Floor mats are from the new 1 series. Driver side fit is 100000% PERFECT, passenger side has just a bit of overlap on the top right corner, but still very good fitment.
Thanks man, everyone is loving them so far. Needless to say we are too!
On a side note, I have the whole interior out right now, spot cleaned the hell out of the carpeting, sucked out all the water I could get and it's drying for another day. Rear shelf is already dyed black and looks sooo much nicer. Can't wait to see the carpet in black as well...
Alright, next project looks like getting rid of the gross beige carpet. (Camel colored as my girlfriend calls it haha.) Got some permanent Black dye from Bryndana. I did a lot of reading and they seem like the best stuff out there, since it supposedly chemically bonds to the fibers. I didn't want to rip out everything to swap in a carpet, plus Black ones are hard to find and most are faded anyways. I may do the rear shelf as well, I'm not too happy with that part in beige either.
Got 3 cans of this stuff, should be double what I need for the job:
It's been a bit cold here surprisingly, so I'm going to wait until the weather gets more predictable. I think I will be dyeing the rear "door cards" Black to go with the rest of the interior this weekend. Not sure if they will stay or if I will do aluminum panels there too... Most likely can decide when I pull the stock ones off.
