Aftermarket Carpet Options
I am looking for a new carpet for my 99 ss. It doesn't have to be an exact match in color, it just needs to be a black molded carpet. It also doesn't need to be backed like the stock unit, but if it that's ok. I preferably want a carpet that doesn't yet have the holes/slots for the console, as I am doing a console delete in the car. I have seen a bunch around online but most seem to have the holes pre cut. Does anyone know of one that does not? And if there isn't one around what seems to be the go-to for a decent fitment?

I'm in the process of doing the console delete. I bought the molded carpet from Speed Inc. They offer black carpet also. The front of the carpet has a slit cut into it down the center to the shifter.

I'm interested to see pictures of the console delete, I've been thinking about doing it to my car for a while since it isn't my daily and don't really need the storage or anything. also interested in the carpet without holes cut in it since i removed the rear seat and it will ever be going back in and want to cover up the bracket and seat belt holes.

that looks good! did you leave the front brackets for the rear seat bottoms or cut them out? my car will never have back seats (i have fixed back buckets so no one is getting back there anyways besides my dog) so was thinking i would just cut them out.
side note, i have the same sparco wheel in my car but your looks to be in way better condition lol i need to find a way to clean the swede that has been matted down from usage.

Was the speed inc. carpet any lighter than the factory stuff? I heard recently it's just a factory replacement and weighs the same. I'm still looking for lightweight carpet but I don't wanna use paper thin Ozite.

I'm just finishing up my shifter mount/cover for under the carpet. I'll have pics later tonight

I got some pictures of the shifter mount and tunnel cover. I made it in two pieces and utilized the stock console mount points front and rear as well as made a custom bracket in the middle with studs to hold the plates and shifter. I still have to add some metal to the passengers side in order to make a smooth transition to the floor, but otherwise it’s coming to shape decently. I mounted the airbag controller securely beneath the entire assembly where it cannot be touched and where all the wiring attached to it is still able to reach where it needs to. I also wired the shifter to a 5 pin gm weather-pack connector for ease of install. Once I have the passengers side blended to the floor and get my square plugs in to cover the rear mount holes I’ll be able to lay the carpet over the entire assembly and reinstall the shifter over top. I’ll eventually make a small “console” under the dash area in front of the shifter with usb plugs for chargers and an area to hold phones and I’ll figure something out to use for a parking brake boot. Otherwise it’ll just be carpeted in the main tunnel area.
