its easy take out the seats center console there are plenty of right ups on here to show you how, seat belt bolts and kick panels.. i can do the job i 25 min. they made our cars very easy to dismantle..
u can get the carpet dye from walmart also. you can get carpet from Lowes or Home Depot. Just pick out what u want. The dye works pretty good. a friend of mine dyed his floor mats blue. Looks pretty tight. You just need to put a lot of time and effort into it casue it takes time for the carpet to dry so u can put another coat on. If u do do it in your car mask everthing.
bringing a thread back from the dead.
But can a carpet be dyed any color?
to go from a black/grey to a light blue or something?
Does dye work the same as painting walls for example, where u use a white dye (like primer) to cover up the dark color and then dye whatever color.
or can u go directly from the black to the light desired color?
