Ah! I thought it had a depth I had not seen on the street. I guess I have not seen an '08 in that color, or not been paying attention.

The Moolight White is the 2009+ white color. Side by side with the other white mine has a slight ivory-ish white appearance due to the pearl.

If you swap seats it could be quite expensive. you can always contact katzkin.com to see what they have to recover the factory seats. You can watch ebay as well for interior pieces. I have considered swapping my tan carpet to black and leaving the seats tan. It would still match as the dash is black and the doors are 1/2 black. Will cover stains/dirt better that way.

Aud, I think that would really look good. Just remember, black shows lots of debris (dead grass/leaves etc) and long blond hairs. ;) I have to take my floor mats out all the time and bang them together to clean them. Seems like as soon as you get back in it crap is on the mats.

I think you all know that I am a huge de-badging fan. I got behind an Avalon the other day. It was a black one. The guy had de-badged the AVALON letters. I was really impressed that someone that would buy that kind of car even cared! All that was left was the Toyota T and it really looked nice and clean.

I've left my Nissan badges. Don't know if it is flat under there or not. I have seen dark chrome ones that say Z instead of Nissan, but I don't know if that would look good on my light color car. :confused:

The tan, at least in the 2011, is terrible for showing soil, and can't be gotten entirely clean from many types of dirt. My floormats are toast, although they've held up to wear better than I expected from what they looked like after a few months.

I prefer the tan/blonde look, but my black interior cars have always been easier to keep clean. They show mud/debris, but all you have to do is vacuum them out. I have to use cleaner on seats and carpets fairly regularly.

I tell you how I would do Rambo's mats, cause they are light gray. I would lay them on the ground and get them wet with the hose then SCRUB them with Dawn and a large stiff brush. It takes a good while to get all the soap out and a good while for them to dry, but they would look brand new after that.

I think what's sticking is oily blacktop residue. I've tried scrubbing with Dawn, orange cleaner, Grease Lightning, you name it. I have some TSP from a painting project that I may try this weekend.

Eew....be careful, kiddo. You don't want to take the color out.

Have you tried WD-40?

I had black in my Maxima and while it will show debris it does not show dirt stains like my floor mats do. It's about time for me to order a new set and finally get some winter mats as well.

(I know, late reply)

Exactly. The tan carpet seems to get dingy in areas as well and once stained you are done.

You would need a vinyl spray paint.
