Green Carpet?

Classic Industries sells forest green carpet for the passenger area (though none for the cargo area), was this ever an optional color interior? I have seen red, blue, and heard of someone with what they called a "jade" interior

Anyways, I love green (exterior is going to be painted to GM code 45, the 91-92 green color , dk green metallic ), and while I am converting to a black interior, I think dark green carpet might look kinda cool in it. Kinda offset some of the blackness.

Anyone know of a place that sells green cargo area carpet? I suppose I could dye white carpet, but I'd rather not have to deal with it .

Might want to take the time to talk to a local upholstery shoppe. Not only will you get to look at samples of colours in person, but you also will find that shoppes that have been in business for a good # of years will know of more than one or two vendors. With Classic Industries, you're going to get whatever is available from the vendor they are going through at that time.

In my opinion, you should swap to a tan interior if the exterior of your car will be a forest green shade. I seem to remember there being a 1992 green available that was more dark teal though, so I'm not sure which you're going with. But if you do want some black front buckets... drop me a line maybe.

thanks for the advice. I have just about every piece of plastic for black, though and i just ordered some Procar seats. green carpet on black probably won't look as good as i am imagining, there's probably a reason the carpet is always the same color as the rest of the interior
