I'm looking to switch the color on my interior floor carpet to black to match the headliner and door panels

Anybody have any recommendations on what to use???

Amazingly, I have seen pretty decent results with Krylon spray bombs.
It stiffens the fabric for a while when it is first done, but it softens up after a while .

No painting. The carpet I have is original andhas had it's fair share of stains to include gear oil in the back -- lots of it. It took quite a bit of work to remove the smell a few years back and it never quite came back to the original color.

I can assume carpet cut for a fox Mustang will not fit correctly in an 87 Cougar, correct?

If it will that's great, but it never seems to be that easy for us....

Nice find

If there's one website I suck at finding stuff on, it's ebay.

Birds and Cats have a longer wheelbase therefore the carpet extends more to the back.

No worries there is plenty of availability for replacement carpet from the two links we suggested above. I plan to use one of them when I am ready to purchase...

Are you getting some of this Paul? I've been strongly considering it, as my carpet is not so great anymore, I was just a little concerned about the cut and the texture. If you get/got it let us know how it comes out:D
