- how hard is it to change the front carpet and how much would you expect it to cost.
Dont bother, buy muz matts instead.

Muz matts are not cheap but are very well made and cover the entire footwell of the S. Most people on here have them.

I was told that the charcoal is a closer match to the original black carpets though.

If you have red carpets and black leather and trim ... best to match to the leather/trim colour IMHO ... by the way, I'm not gay
