Best place to buy new carpet ?? Anyone have any ideas? Experiences?? I have tried GM...507.00...not!
Summit Racing = 189.99 Maybe
eBay = Who knows what your getting...
Let me know what you have done. Car can't be driven till I get some new threads.
Thanks,
Kev

Nope...will only cover the top of the hump (over axle) will be bare from front of the back seats to the trunk.

I just posted this yesterday...I changed out my stock carpet using one from stockinteriors...it's a good quality carpet at half the wieght (stock was rubber mat, aftermarket was fiber mat) but was a bit of a pain to trim. Not a big deal for me tho. Checkout my pictures..i have one pic that shows the stock carpet on top of my new carpet. Gives you an idea of how much trimin you'll have to do. Let me know if you have any qustions.

Kev, I just ordered some Ozite Super Flex universal auto carpet. It's light weight and I only paid about $60 for an 80"x4yrd section. It's pretty nice stuff, with alittle contact glue and steam iron it should form pretty good.
Here's where I got it. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/yourauto...ozflexcar.html .

Unless you are trying to save weight get the GM carpet. I got mine for $270 locally from a friend at a dealer. Shop around.
The GM carpet is the heavy back, what the aftermarket wants more cash for. This brings the aftermarket to the same price.
Also, the GM is cut to fit (no trimming at all!!!!) and has the pad glued to it in the right places.
There is no comparison between the aftermarket and GM. Only get aftermarket if GM is not available.
Good Luck!!!
