Default New carpet

https://www.stockinteriors.com/AutoC...ilterYear=1998

Anyone ever use this carpet before? I believe it’s the one speed inc sells now. It’s suppose to be lighter then factory since it doesn’t have the rubber backing on it. I’m curious to see how it fits if anyone knows. Trying to go lighter but still have a good fit.

How did you sort the padding? I am not sure how the 2 front pieces go, which side goes up per the cuts. From the instruction video it just covers the cutting of the holes for seat pegs and transmission as well as trimming the door sill area. I have bought a roll of padding for the rear deck as this was lacking in the package I received.

I haven’t gotten it yet so I’m not sure exactly what it comes with. I’ll post some pictures of the install and what I think when I get. I didn’t order the one with the mass backing either. Trying to cut a little weight here and there since I just installed a cage into the car

It will have the padding separate, lay the carpet out in the sun for a few hours before install.

Did you get the carpet installed? If so, how was the job? I put a used carpet in mine last year, but it smells musty. Plan on ordering a new one from acc this week.

I did install the carpet and it’s almost done. It look some time and patience. I went with the one without the mass backing. I would think it would fit a little better if it was mass backing just to retain its shape a little better. Does it fit perfect all most I would says. I think if I didn’t have a cage to cut it out around then I believe I could have gotten this carpet to fit perfect. In the end I’m happy with it but like I said it took time and patience. Also some glue adhesive is your best friend. I’ll post some pictures up later tonight or tomorrow

not the best photos. I can get more for anyone that might want any others. Like I said if I had no cage I probably really could have made it fit good. Just tough to lay it out and have it in the right place with the bars in the way

Lloyds has some nice floor mats. The looped version are more durable than the velourtex.

yes. Now unfortunately the place I was ordering from didn't respond back to me in time before they pulled their sale price and don't want to honor it so I'm a bit annoyed about that so I may wait for another sale.

do you have a set of these by any chance? Is the passengerside floor mat molded like the factory because of the shape of the floor?

I've had a set of Lloyd's. The passenger side is not molded, but it is constructed so that it lays over the hump very satisfactorily.
