OH
MY
GOD.

I have mixed feelings on this. You did a damn good job no doubt, but red?

Just not feeling the color. IMHO, something tan-ish woulda looked killer with the dark interior. Either way, very good results! Props

nice job reminds me of my dad's old thunder bird with red carpet.

but you should have removed it, then you could have ran your sub wire under the carpet and through the firewall rather than snaking it through the fender and door jam.

^Already called dibs.. ahahahaha.. JK, go ahead, i wanna see the results.. Tan with LGM wont go together. Having an ALL TAN interior with the white TL with some interior mods =VIP TL.. It'd b sick if it was all tan

Edit: Organize those CD's you have behind the passenger chair and nice 02-03 guage.

Yea I'm with the rest. Great job on it, just not my color.

I think this would be great for people with stained carpets. Painting it a stock, or close to stock, color.

In the pics it doesn't look painted, it looks replaced.

Can't imagine doing that.

i've heard of carpet dyes.. but krylon paint would make the carpet all rough and hard.... not sure the pros outweigh the cons here...

of course i wish it did work good... my carpet color is boring..

clean, but not feeling the color combo with the woodgrain. you should paint your woodtrim SSM, i think itd make it look way better.

very clean job tho, tell us what you used!

ive personally been debating painting parts of my interior that darker "camel" color. never thought of the carpet but would look pretty hot with my ebony interior and ABP exterior. food for thought...
