I wasn't expecting to see three pictures, just a before and after...so when I saw the second picture it took me a minute to even realize what I was looking at.

Wow, a world of difference!

I did all the carpet and interior dyeing and my neighbor and I, together did the heater core and whiteface instrument cluster, but we didn't get something right, hence the code 41.
Oh well, I was just getting ready to pull the trigger Monday on another LT4 coupe (yellow/black,19k miles, 425HP, longtube headers, DRM top end, for $22k), but I think now I'll just keep this one and get me a VW powered 550 Beck Spyder, as I can get a new one for a pretty good deal and its a breeze to work on, plus, a whole lot of fun! Anyone interested in the LT4?

Thanks for the compliments guys!!

What a transformation. It looks great. You said you were working on your interior, I thought somthing minor. That was a major undertaking. I can't wait to see it in person.

The carpet looks great I have been meaning to dye mine. What particular dye did you use-any special application methods?
