Finfan1 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I just got done putting everything back together tonight. I changed the carpet from tan to black. I got the carpet from Stock Interiors and it was a good fit. I got black auto carpet from Wal-Mart and I used that to wrap the center console. I also used that carpet and glued it over the back area and tucked it under that space where you can loosen the four bolts holding it down behind the seats. It was thinner and easier to work with. I think it makes the car newer looking - more modern. I'll add some better pictures using the daylight. <!-- end of AOLMsgPart_1_78eb150f-0489-4576-8877-4bd1b5a4c944 --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I like that. I have always thought a Black Reatta with all black interior would be very classy looking. Some would thing that it would get too hot. That's why we have A/C. I would love to see pics of the back area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finfan1 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'll post pis of the back area soon. I think it looks better because everything is brown and the black just breaks up the color alittle bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDirk Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Very nice! I have often thought that the saddle tan interior would benefit from black carpet on the floor, console and door panels (lower trim under arm rest) to help add some contrast. Only problem is that it will show a lot of dirt/dust, so will take more work to keep clean. I see the exterior is red, so you now have a tri-color combination. Some may think it a bit busy, but I kind of like it. KDirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finfan1 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 I got the carpet from Stock Interiors and I also got the mats. The carpet is not plush like the old carpet but looks more modern. I found the other carpet at WalMart - they have black replacement carpet in roll for only 8 bucks. I got 2 rolls and I used that wrap the center console and for the back area. For the back area I just trimmed and tucked the carpet up into that plastic trim and then I used headliner & carpet adhesive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
