Default Carpet Query

I'm switching my light gray carpet (and interior) to black with red accents.

If I buy a carpet set, does this include the door threshold pieces and the pieces that hang under the dash (hush panels)? I'm guessing not. More importantly, I'm don't think I've seen these advertised.

If they'd need to be "manually" replaced or dyed, how about doing the whole car? I remember reading about someone who dyed their carpets.

Opinions on getting the job done (replacement or dying) are appreciated.

Also, if anyone wants to trade interiors (black for grey), please let me know. (Carpet and door panels only... My seats have water damage from a sprinkler).

I replaced the black carpet in my 89 with new black carpet from Wilcox at a cost of $400. This carpet is made by ACC and has the mass backing. The set did include the door panels, the pieces under the dash, door sills and all floor carpet. They have the best price from what I could find. I ordered the carpet from Wilcox and it was shipped from ACC

Do you have to remove/install carpet on the door sills and hush panels or do the sills and panels come with the carpet sets?

Is Wilcox an Ebay vendor only or do they have a direct link?

Thanks for the info!

I'm sorry, the current web site is http://willcoxcorvette.com, the old site was the yankee lady site and it's not current. All our sale prices are going to be listed on the front page under Interior sale items.
