Question Carpet Color Help!

Ok, I'm not sure what color carpet to get, I know it's personal preference, but I don't know what color I'm painting the outside yet either. So I figured either Black, Charcoal, or light grey. Also the carpet kit is from NPI (nifty products inc) does anyone know their fit quality?

The exterior will be black, teal, sky blue,dark silver, or yellow.

Opinions?

Be careful when you order black or charcoal - sometimes GM has them as the same color!

I'd go with the Charcoal as well. A good neutral color and shouldn't show the dirt as quickly as light grey.

Just my $.02.

Got that light grey in the 94 GranPrix I drive and the F**D F- 150 I had, and it shows dirt pretty easy and some kind of discoloration that I can never get rid of, even after shampooing.

I have NPI's black carpet in my truck. Fit and finish is nice. Looks real good in my truck, but I'm going with white paint.

Went with NPI custom fit carpet (full floor 1 piece)& door carpet in Charcoal. That way I can have black or grey interior. Got a great deal too. complete for under $200 cdn. ($125 US)

Now maybe I won't freeze my skinny a$$ off soo much. The poor heater is always on high! It's gonna be nice not hearing my tires over the stereo too.

I decided to go with rubber mats later on rathern than the carpet. I get my truck too dirty for carpet.
