Looking to dye my ivory carpet to black. Or if anyone has black carpet I'll buy it from you.

Any recommendations?

I have a black replica type R carpet that I purchased from another prime member. I decided to get my car reupholstered with another type of carpet, so I don't think I will be using this. If your interested let me know.

From my past experiences w/ nylon/synthetics, dying them for a complete/total color change is virtually impossible. Intermediate chemicals/solvents need to be used to change the surface-charge at the molecular level for dyes to be absorbed properly.

Quote/unquote natural materials generally work much better w/ redying (wool, cotton, silk, leather, fur, etc').

If I was in your situation, I'd just get a complete brand-new after-market interior molded carpet/trim kit from:

(likely the same thing omega2 is offering above; perhaps save some money & get the unused set from omega2!)

There are (2) styles, woven (NSX-R'like) & cut/nap (OEM/stock'like). For ~$500'ish, can't go wrong!

You can also clean/recondition/rehab' your existing Ivory carpet/trim & get some money for it, as there are many keen Ivory-interior owners. . .

Re: check this...

Very nice info.

Thanks for taking the time to write.

You've persuaded me to investigate getting aftermarket carpet.

Thanks.
