just mix and match carpet is more durable. looks cleaner all the time. vinyl looks nice but get scuffed easy and is harder to clean, but a nice combination of the 2 allways looks good.

Carpet in my opinion, but if you wanted to get tricky white vinyl highlights or stripes could be cool if done properly. Yeah E-Z exactly where I was goin with that

Vinyl for sure man......... carpet is now old hat i havent done an install with carpet for bout 12 months now. beware that wood work needs to be much neater if using vinyl as it doesnt hide as much stuff as carpet. vinyl also allow you to do embossing which is very easy and looks trick as (its what you see in most cars with alpine or typer written can be anything you want) can explain how to do if your interested. anyway good luck dave
