Default best molded carpet?

spent freakin' 4 hours today screwing around with some non molded ozite ****. I hate the way it looks feels and it doesn't exactly want to fill in that great in the back. Luckily it was only a $60 mistake. Just wanting to know who has had the best luck with what brand in the molded carpet market. Does yearone make carpet for the 4th gen? Stock interiors is what I'm about to order from so someone please chime in quick! Thanks

Do you have any pics?

Did you get the $119 carpet, does it cover over the gas tank?


Thanks

See if you can get the GM carpet for your car. I put new GM carpet in and it was a breeze, the holes were cut, the pad was attached, piece of cake.

I got samples from two aftermarket companies and none of them were even close in color.

If you go aftermarket you will spend many hours more installing than the GM stuff. It is worth the extra cash. I got mine for a little over $250.

Good Luck!

I'm liking the carpet from stock interiors. I am wanting molded black carpet and don't really care if the back panel is covered. Hell, that saves over $100. Do I pretty much just pull my interior, lay it down, and put everything back in? Does anyone know if there are holes precut for the bolts? Would I need to get an adhesive as well?

No after talking to a few people and checking out some of my friends Trans Ams with ebony interior the carpet is actually just a dark gray almost the same as the graphite/gray interior cars. My carpet from stock interiors should be here today or tommorow. It is molded but you have to make the holes yourself, which should be to hard. An hour with a razor blade would be enough time to cut all the holes!

Freaking GM... 1 million shades of gray, 1 million seemingly useless holes and bumps in the platform, and 1 million breakable $35 plastic pieces.

I would go aftermarket just to get a true black carpet. Screw Gm's almost-black-so-it-looks-faded color.
