why? carpets are pretty much the same price. unless something falls in your lap dirt cheap it is generally not worth considering. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...b-48e6786f6699 lighter colors can be dyed darker. black you are pretty much stuck.

Since no one else has a picture yet, I figured I could show you mine. Even though my interior is red with black carpet it might give you a decent idea of what yours might look like, except cinnabar. I have since dyed the carpet inserts in the door panels black as well, so all of the carpet surfaces are black. I am a former C5 owner, and I fell in love with the mod red interior and this is my homage to that. I might get custom seat covers made where the side panels are black.

just a quick photoshop. im not too familiar with 80s interiors.
A lot of BMW and Mercedes have black carpet and panel interiors.
For the individual color packages they just change the seat, door card inserts and dash pieces.
I guess it saves on having to manufacture so many different carpet sets, or easier replacements. but the contrast looks good imo.

Yes. Thanks for doing that! I like it a lot. I like the contrast and the dark door handle and steering wheel on the bmw. I might just dye my faded carpet and door panels and see how it comes out.

For the Cinnabar with black carpet interior, the exterior would need to be black or charcoal/dark grey, IMO. I don't think it would work with other exterior colors.

Mines white. Was thinking of doing black motion stripes on it. Would tie everything together!
