Awesome, that's what i was looking for, cuz its either that carpet or suede... so if carpet is significantly cheaper then suede i will go with it, otherwise suede looks better.

thanks Killer_klown187

I allready used a black headliner - lands run out of that carpet, but it worked out quite nice - it's just not very durable lol... But then I never open the trunk anyway
