New Carpet

[Prophet]

Well I was bored today and I need a break from the internet. Even on my days off work I am working on TGC.

I decided to redo the carpet in the G. Looks really good and I will have pictures up tommorow. It is 3:00am now and I am tired as hell.

[ChromeGalant]

Yeah..

I cant wait to see the pics! How much did it cost you for the carpet?

[shuura]

I'm looking to do the same thing. In fact, I'm about to redo my whole interior. Where do you get the carpet? I've seen carpet kits, but not for our cars.

I cant wait to see it Jason

The carpet only ran me $49.00. I had to call several places that sell carpet defore I found one that sold automotive carpet.

This was not an easy task and me I am no professional. So if I am no professional I don't have really a professional install but it is good enough. There are some creases that I had to make in order for it fit in place and I had no idea the stock carpet is made out of a fiberglass material so I got some on in my hands. :evil:

I am going to wash the car up and take some more current photos. I should have them posted in a couple of hours.

Where did you get the carpet from. I dyed my carpet and it looked good until i spilled some water on it and it washed away. I tried replacement carpet from pep boys and it wont form worth a shit. Help please

[Green Machine]

I'll be doing this in a few days/weeks, I made the mistake of letting my wife put a pot of beans on the floor of the G on the way to the inlaws, and, well, you know the rest :cry:

[escoson]

im gonna be starting my interior in the winter...

::waits for some pics::

[Prophet]

Pictures!!!!

These don't do it justice. There are creases in certain parts of the carpet. I would say I am 90% satisfied with how it turned out. Next year I am going to get it professionally done.

I have been thinking about it and I am currently looking for a manufactuer. I approuched ACC awile ago but they had no intrest in it. They really just blew me off. :evil: You can get some ACC carpet through JC Whitney but the price is like $250.00 plus. To me that is kind of a high price but if you do this mod you know why it is so high. The stock carpet is pretty much a mold of the floor with a fiberglass backing, cushion, and then the carpet. It is just not a carpet that gets layed on the floor.

I know I can go through my usual manufacter but I don't like the conditions that are put on the buy and the pricing. I want to get cheap but quality at the same time. I am going to give this more attention seeing has I know this is not an everyday part I can see a high demand for it.

You just don't lay it over the exsisting carpet. At least I didn't. I did cut out a couple of pieces from the old carpet and place it under the new carpet for the cushion effect the old one had.
