You can dye anything but I think getting an even black would be hard unless your carpets are new. If there's been some wear to them you'll get an uneven black with weird spotting. And what's the point of buying new red matts only to dye them black.. might as well buy black ones to begin with.

I'm not crazy about it, too busy in an already busy color scheme. And it makes me think of a black and white cookie.
I do have to reupholster my red GT3 seat cushions but I think I would do a red alcantara to go with the red leather side bolsters and head rest section..
Breaking up all the red I think has to be done in color blocks where the top of the dash is red and the bottom dark grey. Top of the door red, bottom grey. All red seats, all dark grey carpeting, etc.


From an Audi R8 interior, this is what I want to do with my seats (but with 3M carbon wrapping).
I like the quilted footwell and door panel look. Red steering wheel is too much red though.
