That’s exactly what I’ve been doing.

It finally took it. I think...

What are ideal pic dimensions for this site?

And pic of interior color. Pic makes it look more orange than reality.

Here’s another.

Again I want to know what color this is so I can match carpet dye from leather magic, and LSeats. Any experience with these is very helpful.

Interior color is "Boxster Red".

Just ran a test and your suggestion works, thanks.

Hurray for this mystery being solved. I can’t wait to dye carpets because coral pink isn’t my flavor.

Thanks to everyone who helped!

I've got that interior, and love it.

Maybe you can author a DIY or take a vid of dyeing the carpet. Which product are you going with? How will you apply it? Will you remove ALL the carpet?

Definitely Boxster Red interior. My previous 986 was Arctic Silver with Boxster Red. While I love the silver over red look (obviously since I've had three Porsches in a row with that combo), I could never really bring myself to "like" the Boxster Red. The leather was too orange and the carpet was to salmon pink. Maybe if the the two matched it would have grown on me more.

My new ride has red leather interior (lipstick red) and black carpet, and I must say that looks way better. If you aren't determined to keep the car 100% stock, then you might consider dying the carpet black. (See attached for an example)

Howdy!

I’d be happy to document carpet removal and dye job.

I do think removing carpet is best for doing a thorough job. I haven’t done it but I doubt it’s that difficult.

I’m going to use the Leather Magic stuff with a brush. I’ve seen the results of this and I thought excellent.

I was going to do stock but after seeing the above photo I’m leaning towards black. My carpet is stained up pretty good and dye won’t hide stains. I have had excellent results cleaning the carpet. I used Tuff Stuff in the aerosol can combined with a drill attachment yellow brush. Note that I think the white (softer) brush is better for carpet cleaning.

Any more pics of the black carpet interior? Sway me.

Here is what I have on hand:





Some of the carpet (like the door panels) are likely glued on and would be a real bear to remove and then replace.
