I bought a carpeted plastic box for the rear shelf of my '98, to replace the faded, damaged, crappy looking bag that's been back there for 18 years. The box was in perfect condition, except the carpet was pretty badly faded (as expected/shown in the eBay photos). Well, have you heard of spray painting your carpet? I sure hadn't before this morning. I'm simply amazed at the results. I have no idea how it would hold up with wear and tear, but for something that will rarely be touched, I have high hopes that it'll last a while. It doesn't look painted. It looks like the original carpet fibers. I haven't touched it yet to see how soft and flexible it is, but I'm not worried about that. Anyone have experience with this stuff, and resistance to fading in the sun?
