Default Changing my carpet color

I have a 98 Camaro SS with graphite carpet and wanted to switch to ebony carpet. Has anyone done this? If so, please post pics.

It's not very hard, and should not take more than a few hours, assuming you still have your back seats in.

I did that in my 1987 TA which is a little easier to move around in than my 2002. It took all day to do the carpet plus more time afterwords to put it back together.

You'll love the new look. I've got black carpet in my neutral interior and it looks great. I'll see about getting some pics tomorrow.

If you're looking for some step-by-step install pics there's a slew over at f-bodycarpet.com.

Here ya go. I still need to get a good set of black floor mats to match (and a vacuum wouldn't hurt).

As long as it is cut to fit, it should NOT take all day. My friend and I did both our cars in like 4 hours.
