[urq] Carpet dye?

[Paul Ahvenainen]

Most of the carpet dye products are basically paints that sit on top of the fibers. They look pretty good for a while and then go down hill fast.

I had a local upholstery shop replace my faded and stained urq carpets with beautiful charcoal grey wool automotive carpet. They were able to fit the carpeting so that it looks very much like the factory product, but much nicer material. They even reproduced the heal pads.  

Total cost was about $800.  I removed seats and the center console to save a bit of labor. They did the rest.
