If you change your mind about pursuing this, be careful...the tan carpet
sets are non-original...the early, original sets were all black, regardless
of interior colour. The sets offerred as tan (at least those that I belive
likely come from Newton Commercial) are all what I would describe as brown
rather than tan...what many vendors describe as biscuit is what I would
have expected. Interesting that the trim on the carpet and the shift cover
(vinyl) are more to the colour that I would have expected for the whole
carpet. I had a similar experience a few years ago when I ordered the
"fuzzy" door seal...ordered tan and got what I would describe as brown BUT,
that is what they provide.
