I hope it holds up.

Mine looked that good too for a little while. But after a couple of months driving, it starts to where off.

I will be buying ACC carpets shortly.

I dyed the carpet in my van and it looked amazing for about 3 months with about the 4 coats i'd put on but now its almost completly faded and looks terrible i'll never use spray dye again.

Yea, from what I've heard about fading and for the cost, seems like a replacement carpet is the way to go. I think I will be going this route. Good luck tho.

yeah about the hard and chunky thing
you have to brush the carpet
and then dye where it wears off then brush some more and continue to do this till none of it wears
