I didnt buy the kit from them, i thought it was overpriced since i could get brand new carpet for that price. I called the tech line, and told them what i was doing, and they helped me pick a color. Two bottles of dye plus shipping cost around $20.

The dye worked pretty good, made my carpet look about 85% better IMO....i dont expect it to last forever, just long enough until i get my new interior in the fall. I used about 1 1/2 bottles to do all my carpet.

I went to walmart and bought the rattle can dye. I'm going to try it on some spare crappy seats first.
