new interior

Just got my interior finished on my little project. All of the gray seatcovers I could find came with black on the back, so I covered the kick panel inserts and all of the inserts in the plastic pieces in the hatch area with black carpet, and sprayed the lower carpeted part of my door panels with dupli-color fabric dye. It has kind of a two-tone thing going now. Just wondering if it looks O.K, or did I just mess this thing up? Personally, I think it looks a lot better. Some before and after pics are here: Yahoo! Photos - jimmyj1423's Photos - interior
I still need to get some of the hatch area taken.

I think it looks pretty damned good. I've been wanting to do darker carpet with my lighter plastic for a while but wasn't sure how it would look. After seeing yours, I think I'll be just fine.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I really wish I would have had the deluxe style seats to work with (much more options). Now I need floor mats. I am trying to decide if I want to go with black or gray ones, but I am leaning toward black.

I'd stick with mats that match the carpet. Otherwise it gets a little too "Wal Mart Yosemite Sam Floor Mat" looking.
