Its funny you mention that because down here in South Florida, the dealer was telling me that one of their biggest sellers is black on black... Regardless of model, that's what sells... No way I'd own that down here...Originally Posted by UdubBadger

Luckily, I do a once over of my interior at least once a week so it's not bad.
@Chris, I like black on beige too but yup, too hard to keep a lighter color clean especially in a vert, so I was very happy to go black on black.
I've just always been a fan of black on tan, not sure why, just appeals to my eye. Mixes up the interior compared to a flat black everywhere

So, I have the rear seats and 4 door cards to convert the 6MT car to Natty Brown. I'm thinking of dyeing the fronts since they are very hard to come by. WHile I'm at it instead of swapping the carpet JP suggested dying it. It is currently sand, so it should not be hard to do. Any thoughts on dyeing in black or perhaps natural brown?

Dye it black. Brown would look out of place IMO.

My thinking is a natural brown interior with dark brown carpet and black floormats would look great, that is why I suggested dying the carpet a darker shade instead of ripping out the whole carpet to install black.

Honestly Shawn, I would just replace the carpeting rather than having them dyed... I had grey carpeting in my ///M and decided that it would be better just to replace the carpeting...I'm glad I did. I think replacing the carpeting is much quicker and you won't have to worry about the dye coming off the capering... just my two cents...

Well... the other issue has been locating a black carpet. I have been keeping an eye out here but no sedans have showed up at my buddies shop with black carpet yet. The one I got for my car is the first one I had seen in months. He hasn't had luck sourcing one back his way either. That is why the idea for dye came up. Perhaps between now and summer when the interior swap happens a black carpet will be sourced, but I think this would be a decent temporary solution until then. Even if the dye was to wear, it wouldn't be an issue as the carpet would eventually be replaced with a real black one
