I say go ahead and dye it. It looks good. I sprayed mine with Ritz and a little SEM for good measure.

Well. 15 boxes of RIT, 2lbs of Salt, 32 gallon trashcan, and lots of hot water later... The carpet is now in the process of becoming black. Hope it works!

Was the speaker section of the door panel painted or reupholstered? Looks good.

Do you have a thread on your door panels? does the pattern on the new vinyl match the old pretty well?Last one, did you just vinyl over the old or did you strip it down first?
