What mfg did you use for the replacement carpet?
How close is the match to OEM?
Mine is beginning to show its age.

Thats 100k mileage original carpet. I took it out, vacuumed it and soaked, soaped, and scrubbed it several times, than lastly used the Bissell little green machine to suck up the excess moisture, finally let it air dry atop several jack stands for a couple days. I swear that the prevoius owners spilled at least 2 pots of coffee in there, judging by the color of the water I sucked out. Also about $7-8 in loose change since they broke the coin holder but kept putting change in it.

Heres a couple "before" pics from when I got her. It has been sitting since 2018 before I got it from the previous owners brother.

Had to do rear control arms on a buddys tahoe after church, but did get the package tray in. You can see the Pioneer 6x9s and the material modded to let the sub breathe into the cabin better. Oh and the ftont seats and rest of the interrior trim on Saturday. Guess some ugly guy wanted a pic of himself in the front seat...

You could raise the rear a bit and that would help balance the stance a little.
In regards to your question about the interior pieces, I vaguely remember seeing on this site many years ago something about using a certain type of modeler's or arts & crafts paint to give the interior plastic bits a 'new from the factory' look; biggest issue was finding the right shade of charcoal/gray...
Damn it's been awhile since I've attended a car show. Of course mine was only driven 12 miles last year and I am about to start getting out more. That wheel gap on yours looks suspiciously high. Even at stock height it looks rather large. I cut a coil 15 years ago and here's my stance. Seems proper if ya ask me. We'll get together at a car show soon.
