I am looking for RED if there is anyone out there reasonable.

Sorry, I don't mean to highjack your thread. I know another member that is looking to change his interior.

Mid America sells replacement carpet. If you do end up switching out your carpet I would be interested in your gray rear carpet if it is in excellant condition.

Good luck

That is why I have been looking for a used set out of a possible wrecked one. Red is a hard color for me to find.

Keep looking around in the for sale section and people parting their cars out.. I was looking for a few weeks (about a month ago now..) and thought I was never going to find some good used carpet. When something did pop up someone was already jumping on it. I was lucky enough though to find some great carpet for a great price from another member- it's out there you just have to be vigilant and quick

/\ That is what I did too. It took a little while and half my carpet came from one CF member and the other half from another but in the end I saved 100's of dead presidents.

I swapped my interior from Light Oak to Black by buying up parts in the FS section. It works out pretty well... you can resell what you take out and come close to breaking even. In fact, I still have a few parts left over if anyone's looking for them... the 3 light oak panels that go around the rear of the coupe, the rear carpet piece, 3 bin covers, light oak seatbelts and retractors, and also a spare set of the rear coupe panels in black. If anyone needs any of that stuff, PM me. I'll give you a good price.
