you best bet is to keep checking the forums and buying the pieces used. You can't dye the rug it will come out like total ****. You can get spray dye for all the panels, but thats kinda ghetto. I did it to hold me over while I gathered up all the pieces in black. It was'nt bad looking, but it scratches off really easy.

you should remove the panels from the car and then clean them with some dish detergent and water. Then paint with the special primer, and then the spray dye can be applied. I'm 99% sure you can get the primer and paint/dye from either summitracing.com or Jegs.com both places carry the good brand, not the crap they sell in your local autozone/pepboys craphole

I did my 2.3 Mustang Coupe's interior... just cleaned all the surfaces well then used a home semi gloss paint and shot it on in a few coats... doesnt scratch off at all! lol So much for going back to the original color if I ever wanted too. Though I dont because it looks pretty good! I like it... I need to get a more recent shot of it now that it is all done... I simply spray painted the rear seat... looks pretty good now! I did replace the front seats with those out of a 92 GT.
