[QUOTE="djm4rshm2llow, post: 7772374, member: 620919"] Okay guys, I have wanted to change my carpet color for a long time. My car had hideous stained up tan carpet. 10 years will do that to a floor. After a battery tipped over and spilled acid all over my passenger side I figured it was time for new carpet. I purchased used carpet off of Ebay but it was gray. (There are very few places to get my carpet for less than 500 bucks.) After researching, I realized how incredibly little info was on the internet about changing your carpet color. I watched this video and got hyped up originally... [MEDIA=youtube]I2lBaIwuVEo[/MEDIA] [IMG]http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/iamjk123/dce94fb0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/iamjk123/dce94fb0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/iamjk123/9c756696.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/iamjk123/8681152c.jpg[/IMG] Here's a close up of the fibers. It doesn't dry hard and tacky. Mine feels like carpet should feel like. In fact it is softer than my old carpet was lol. [IMG]http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/iamjk123/ad0c2ef5.jpg[/IMG] It took about 30 minutes to dry and I was good to go. I did not take pictures of me ripping out my old carpet. Mostly because it was such a pain and utter misery in 90 degree Louisiana heat. But after a days worth of work and a race to beat the the sun going down.... Here's the results. [IMG]http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/iamjk123/93ac0677.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/iamjk123/dddc908b.jpg[/IMG] I think it looks great. I am not going to lie, the project was a pain when it came to ripping out the old carpet and putting in the new. I feel even worse for the people who have to take out their old to paint it and put it back in. But on the bright side I got paid to do it. As I found around 20 bucks in change under my seats and what not lol. Hope this helps you guys it, it's a good little project for someone trying to make their car look alot better but not having a huge pocket book. [/QUOTE]
