Default Dying Carpet

Hello,

I'm curious to hear from anyone who's dyed their carpets - how it turned out/holding up over time...

I have always like the deviated carpet look and my Coupe is black with cashmere interior and I'm thinking about dying the carpet black rather than change it out for black in order to get the deviated look - so what/any thoughts on doing that???

I dyed my carpet to get rid of fading. Blue. Came out great. Used a spray and brushed it through.
Been about 1 year, looks new. A little stiff right after but a couple of brushings later and it feels fine.

I'll be doing the carpet in my 951 over the holidays. There's a thread on Reutterwerk about someone doing this in a 951, it's in the 944 Turbo section. He posted some before and after shots.
