My cabs rear area is badly faded. Can't seem to find carpet set anywhere.
Anyone ever try dying their carpet?

xrad your templates would be for coupe n'est pas?
Anyone know if that template would work for a cab?

My dad worked for a company that, among other things, sold dye kits and training to carpet cleaning companies to repair sun faded and bleach-stained carpets. Their shtick was color matching mainly. Dyeing should be pretty straightforward if you can match the color. My carpet is pretty faded too but I'm not sure if I want to mess with it. Maybe before the snow hits I could whip out the seats and try redying the carpet so it has a long time to dry while the car is off the road.
A quick web search reveals lots of carpet dye options.

Keep us posted Joel. I to am interested in upgrading the carpet but I am pretty sure I don't want to rip out the old stuff based on xrad's experience. Too much time and effort for an old lazy SOB like me.
I wonder what a restorer would charge for that job. I recall reading posts that estimated somewhere between 40 and 100 hours to complete. Anyone have an idea of who would actually do the carpet replacement?
