    Another Thumbs Down For Aftermarket Carpet Kits

    Stockinteriors.com

    I thought, hey, I can make this work, it looks good.

    Decently quality carpet, but ~85% fit. I spent all weekend fitting, trimming cussing, trimming, fitting, cussing, etc. Took a lot of pictures too, fucking damn it.

    After still not being satisfied tonight while tweaking it, [it could have been ‘good enough’], I’m saying ‘fuck it’ and getting OEM, either used or new, and dyeing it.

    I have just bought a car that has grey carpet in it. Not really sure of the condition completely since I have not paid huge attention to it just yet. But I also have a complete set of grey carpets that I purchaed from EBAY sometime back. If you are looking for a grey carpet set let me know and I will check the condition of what is in the car I just bought and if it is fine and not needing replaced then I will have the set that was bought on EBAY. Let me know so that I can look into it for you. If you are let me know your ship to zip so I can figure what the shipping will cost so we can go from there. If this ships it will be in a LARGE box and weighs somewhere around 30lbs.

        Yep, Kevin is doing my seat covers. We've briefly discussed carpet.

          I have one, maybe two available. One definitely now, one whenever I get off my dead ass and install the new carpet sitting in my garage.

          I'll get pics up tomorrow. I have a box to ship in, but IIRC it is more than 30 lbs...

            previous post is correct I just looked at the box that mine is sitting in and it weighs 70lbs. I got your PM and will look into what shape my carpet is in on the car I just bought and if I do not need the extra one it will be for sale. Give me a few days since I am out of town and will be back on Wednesay where the car is at.

                    Anthrazit is still available, ran me around $600 for the main carpet piece and the rear seat piece, shipped.

                      I think in most cases... a very good detailing job will get the carpet looking fantastic again.
