Carpet color?

For those of you out there with a similar interior, which of these do y'all think would best match the stock gray interior color for a '90 4Runner? Right now I can pull carpet off the floor like a shedding dog, so I think it's time for replacement.

http://stores.ebay.com/AutoCarpetOnl...t-Samples.html

I'm thinking medium gray...Or maybe I should go with dark gray or black just for the hell of it?

I'll write how well it fits when I get it.

***EDIT: Also, does anyone know of a way to redo the white lettering on the various control surfaces? Mine have all mostly worn away and it looks crappy.

what are you doing with the exterior? what color?
I could see going darker on the interior if the ext. is going dark.
it's all about appearance, right?

It's dark green, forest green, whatever. This color.



It's for appearance and sound dampening, apparently the new one is supposed to dampen sound pretty well, and I'm going to put some high-tech Lowe's brand insulation before I put it down I think.

I'm not going to replace the rear carpet, I'm just going to take it out and clean as well as I can and then put a cargo mat over it.

if your keeping your rear carpet then you best grab a piece and match it up...

I just recently put new carpet in my entire vehicle. I bought some dark grey carpet from home depot for like 30$. I even used it on the doors

These guys apparently make good carpeting.

And for what it's worth, I prefer that the carpets match the drapes.

That's who it's from, it's just their Ebay store.

Ha...I bet you do.
