Hey clb, thanks for the report. Looking forward to the photos. I would especially appreciate some macro close up shots of the carpets you dyed. Did the texture of the carpets come back? Did the dye penetrate the nap of the carpeting deeply?

I have an Arctic Silver/Boxster Red, my favorite scheme for Boxsters/Caymans, except that the carpets are a bit too pinkish, and I'd like to get a deep red on them one day.

Yea, the texture stayed the same the key was to not soak the carpet with the dye. As far as penetrating the bluish carpet , for sure it did cause you have to brush in the dye in little circles until it dries. Plus you let it dry for like 48 hrs and then do some touch ups in areas where you think it needs it. As far as pictures it is going to take me a bit but i will def. post them before and after so everyone can see what a difference it is.
