    Default Dye Carpet?

    Crazy question but do ya reckon it would be possible to dye the vn carpeting to black?

    I know nothing about dyes or anything like that... anyone here changed the carpeting colour? How did you go about it?

    i used some of the aerosol dye for a stip of black in my boot. came out nice, but that was on marine carpet which is shorter and less soft. it feels kinda scrubbier so it might not work to well with the floor carpet, but i'd give it a shot if you're thinking about buying a replacement anyway, all that can happen is you'll have a bit of black until you buy the new stuff.

    \/ there are 1 or 2 pics of the boot strip in my ride \/
