Thanks guys

I'm definitely going to try to get some black seats in the future, but for now I like the contrast.

I like it too, all black can be a bit much sometimes in the interior.

That looks killer, Retro! Whenever I could afford it, I'd be torn between Katzkin covers or some Corbeaus (although looks like you got a helluva deal). The shape of the stock foam might be the deciding factor though...

Here's a slightly better picture,

I was thinking about changing the lower parchment colored piece over the transmission to black. Leave the rest. MAYBE change just the seat covers sides black, tops parchment, and contrasting stitching.... Or all black with tan stitching.

Sounds like a good idea!

that came out great. did you have to glue any of it in? looks like they have the molded part down as far as fit. do you agree? ive wanted black carpet for the last 6 years, but i do like having the black mats on my parch carpet. man, this really makes the choices tuff. either way, some fresh carpet is in order for this summer. glad you did this and posted up

Hey, thanks! The carpet was pretty well-molded to the form of the floor, but I did spray some glue on the side of the trans tunnel and the back wall just in case. I left everything else un-glued so I could have future access to the wires that run under it.

Awesome job man! I tried to install carpet in my 05 and it was a damn mess. Found a factory carpet eventually and it went considerably better. Probably didn't have as much patience as you did though.

Looks good!

Much better! Nice work!

Thanks! Luckily I had a long weekend to mess with it and plenty of time to let the carpet unfold itself.

Much better! Nice work!

Thanks!
