dude that looks awesome!!! very nice. i might try this

 

The carpet was $200 and the mats were around $69 for a set of four with $25 for the embroidery. Shipping was another $50. So $350 to make the interior feel like new is a pretty good price.

Oh, and here's those Emblem Pros pics I promised. I'll have installed pics Tomorrow.
They are the Stainless Steel with Reflective black Acrylic inserts, like the ones used in their ZR1 badges.

 

Looks good but fitment needs some work.

 

Nice pictures. We knew you'd like them.

 

Looks awesome Johnny!! I have those emblems but in a different style. They're extremely easy to clean and maintain also. I have a heat gun if you wanna lay that carpet down and smooth it out some more. Just let me know.

 

Yeah they look real clean, don't you have yours custom etched as well? Oh, off topic, have you painted that new hood yet?
I think that the heat gun is the only thing that's gonna work on it, it didn't want to stay in place at all around that cross area where the rear seat humps are.

 

i actually really like that

 

Looking good Rockstar. Did you fix what caused the leak? Hate to see the new stuff end up like the old

 

If you mean the top leak then no. The thing is so old it sags and holds water between the top frames and it slowly soaks through because the waterproof coating on the inside of the canvas is totally gone. I've used some top cleaner and restorer in addition to outdoor scotchguard however and that seems to keep the water off pretty well until I can get around to installing a new top. I can drive in the rain and it won't leak, but when it has standing water that's when it leaks. So If I get caught by a rainstorm while I'm at work I'll just throw a car cover over it and it's fine. It's garaged at home so I really don't have to worry about the interior getting wet again. New weatherstripping couldn't hurt though.

 

I like the overall two tone look...maybe would have gone with black mats but still looks nice

 

I like it and think it would set steves car off also with his custom seats.

 

Kinda custom. It was an option to choose. I haven't seen any others, but that doesn't mean anything. I like'em though. I need to polish them bad. I put the SS camaro fillers in and they out shine the emblems lol. I haven't painted the hood yet. Still gotta make it functional. Probably will here soon. Whenever you need that heat gun let me know or we can meet up at steve's. That or PM me and I'll give you my cell.

 

I really like that carpet.

Did you get regular or ultra luxe carpet?

Did you get it with the mass backing or whatever it is called?

 

The carpet looks good. I need to get my LSX emblem from emblempros soon too.

 

Love it...good work.

 

It is the ultra plush i believe, it has mass backing and jute padding in heavy traffic and noisy areas.

 

I am glad you posted these pics. I have been considering red carpet for my TA. It has the red leather seats already. I pulled the old carpet and scrubbed it and made it look much better, but still keep trying to picture the red carpet in it. I like it.

 

That's what inspired me to do this, I've always loved the way red seats in a white fbody looked, and wanted to take it a tasteful step further.
I'm glad that this has changed a few peoples minds about the red stuff in our cars.

 

So what do you think? Be harsh. How do you review this carpet AND the floor mats? I'm considering stockinteriors for my future project and I wanted ultra plush with the backing, so I'm interested in your opinion. Fit? Quality?

 

This stuff is really great quality, the reason it is a bit wrinkly and loose is all my fault, it's about 2 inches to the left of where it should be causing it to be a bit weird in the back. I just worked with it though because I had already cut the hole for the shifter.

It weighs 50 pounds, has massbacking which adds most of the weight, it's basically the same thing as tire rubber, it gets a bit tar like when it heats up. It has really thick jute padding around the transmission hump and floor pans. It is molded EXACTLY to the floorpan, but comes oversized so you have some leeway to trim. The back edge that goes into the hatch is trimmed with either leather or a fake leather. It has no plastic/rubber crap like a heel pad, so it's just like factory. It's quite plush, and adds new car smell, or the same smell that pepboys has.

The floormats are made of the same material as the carpet and are rubber backed with cleats so they stay in place. They are bound with thick twine, it's really high class compared to vinyl bound mats. They even came with holographic official GM tags. They have embroidery patterns on the site as well.

If I ever do this again or to another vehicle I will use this company again.
