So i finally decided to put my new carpet in that i got from late model restoration that has been sitting for like a week and it looks a lot better and thankfully got rid of the stinky nasty carpet and floor mats that had never been taken care of and smoked in, forcing me to roll my windows down as soon as i got in the car but no more!



and for reference to what was in there before...

Wood grain was popular in the higher end cars in the mid 90s and those kits were popular. Seen them at every car show for a few years until aluminum trim replaced it.

Mmmmmmm -new carpet smell. Seeing how good yours looks makes me wonder if I should change from saddle/tan to black after all. Decisions, decisions!

I use that exact same leather cleaner - and I use a light bristled brush when I clean my leather (like a toothbrush texture) this helps keep the dirty cleaner out of the cracks. Looks great though, a huge improvement so far!
