Default Does black carpet exist

I am changing my whole interior from gray to black and cannot seem to find black carpet. They seem to have ebony, which from my best guess is actually dark gray. I am curious if GM made black carpet for the camaro or TA? I know I can get one from stockinteriors.com, but I'd like to know if GM made one?

Thanks, Mike

With the 4th gens, as far as OEM goes, they never used black carpet. Ebony was as dark as it got . All aftermarket companies have black available though .

Any ideas of what company's product offers the best fitment?

Thanks, Mike

I thought ebony was black? And the charcoal was the dark gray color.

There is a site, that I believe some people have used on here. I use to have a thread bookmarked in which someone swapped a black carpet and it looked good. I believe it came pre molded but needed holes cut and some trimming.

Edit, I just reread your post, the site you have listed was the one I was thinking of.

Not for the carpet. Ebony cars all had dark gray from what I'm reading.

I replaced the gray interior on my 98 with a Ebony interior from a 01 SS. The carpet that was in my car was almost a perfect match to the ebony carpet on the back of the rear seat. For me it just wasn't worth the effort, if i was to put black carpet in the car then the carpet on the backside of the rear seat would not match. That would look stupid, of course you could then replace the carpet on the rear seat. You would need to take the leather apart from the carpet and then re-sew it all back togother. Like I said not worth the effort, My Ebony leather seats do it for me.
