Just an update, my dyed mats are holding up amazing.
They still look new after a good vacuuming.

 

+1, did my mats in october '09 and still look amazing...just waiting for the weather to warm up so i can finish doing the whole carpet

 

That looks really nice, might have to try that myself. Good job man! Thanks for sharing.

 

yea looks good and cheap.....has anyone done all their carpets? would it be hard to remove all the carpets? are they glued down?

 

i bought the black dye but my mats turned out blue did that happen to anyone else???

 

if they turned out blue the dye probably didn't take all the way.
Wash them really well to get any oil off them then stick them in the dye again, let them soak a bit longer next time.

 

i washed it again and put two full bottles and i still got the same results...blue nothing changed i dont see what im doing wrong....so now im rolling around with blue carpets

 

Did you ever treat them with a stain repelling spray?
I've done a couple sets and never had that problem.

 

nope nothing at all...makes me sad....i was looking foward to some black mats now ima have to buy some black ones instead...

 

did you use scolding water and salt when you soaked the mats?

 

no scolding water or salt used just the hot water like it was said to do...

 

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^ here my friend is your problem.....

 

Just did this letting them dry will post pics

 

Ok so my mats are almost done not ready to go back in the car though. Mine came exactly like the ones above I used a bottle and a 1/2 of Rit which I bought at walmart for $1.66 took an hour and a half they look OEM and couldn't be happier ps i did not use salt just really hot water let them sit for an hour then dry for 10 minutes next i used the wash soap then let the water run clear apparently i didnt do it good because when i touch them my hands turn a tiny bit black so ill let them dry until tomorrow if i have the same issue ill throw them in the wash without soap and dry them again but for 5dollars total for all supplies they look amazing
