Well done. You had them same interior color to start with as I do and the black carpeting goes very well with the gray seats.

Thanks. The carpet was a pretty simple and relatively inexpensive swap. To me, this is the way it should have come from the factory .

Where did you order your carpet from and how much was the cost. I want to do the same thing except change black to grey.

Was just thinking that when looking at your posts. The grey interior seats are nice but the black give it sorely needed contrast. Great upgrade.

I ordered the carpet from gm parts. Comes in two pieces and I believe if was just under $500 shipped. I have the grey carpet and would be happy to move them but shipping is probably prohibitive.

Looks awesome. I was considering the gray interior when I ordered but the carpet was a turn off.
