Default Here is a 30 dollar carpet job from Home Depot

Here is what 30 dollars of carpet and lots of patience along with a can of paint can do for the inside of your car. I have two kids and over the years they spilled all kinds of crap in the car and ruined the carpet and the plastic parts of the console and all. I replaced the carpet and painted the interior parts a dark grey. It's a little darker than what the pics show and I'm very happy the outcome. Not bad for $40 dollars total and a little time. I'm telling you it was trashed before. They will no longer ride in my car lol Also a couple pics of the ouside of my junk. Not bad for 170,000 miles.

Oh well it looks way better that what was there. It was a piece of black leather that i cut up years ago and it was coming up and faded real bad. Trust me this thing was trashed almost beyond repair. And they do have black carpet as well. I started to go with that but I'll probably just get some black floor mats. Maybe dark grey dunno yet.
