Ok, so I am in the process of buying or at least finding places to buy all the stuff I want for my interior swap thats to take place over winter.
I'm goin to a all black interior. I have been looking around at carpet & found this...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1982-...QQcmdZViewItem
They claim the carpet is made when you order it & is molded from a factory floor pan, so it should fit like a stock replacement. I don't have the money or desire to order a Ebony carpet from the dealer, so I'm lookin for a cheaper option.
Has anyone here ever used this company or heard of them or the quality of their product?? Their pricing is very attractive, I know that much.
Please discuss cause I know I'm not the only one that would like a decent carpet replacement weather it be a different color or matching color without breaking the wallet.

I saw that ad on ebay a few weeks ago looking for other parts. Seems like it would work fine. I mean it is carpet, not performance parts. At worst, if it isnt right, send it back but for the price, you cant expect perfection. Be the first and post up some pictures and results...

There are a few of us running around with the StockInteriors carpet.
Here's a pic of the difference from the stock carpet:

Remember the carpet is premolded, not precut.
If you don't have the patience to cut a carpet stick with a stock replacement.
I'll get more pics up of the finished product later.
And here is a link that DopedZ probably meant to post in this thread (instead of the old one) to help you out...

And the StockInteriors carpet is way more 'plush'.
Here's a pic to show you difference in color, the darker one is the StockInteriors carpet.

The eBay auction is for the passenger compartment.
You can order one that is the same size as the stock carpet.
(It goes up to about where the jack sits on our cars.)

The one on the bottom is the aftermarket.
This is not an aftermarket lightweight carpet.

They have both.

I was a newb at first when it came to installing carpet.
So I completely hated the aftermarket at first.
Then I did a few tweeks and developed some patience and now I can say that the aftermarket is amazing.
I also installed 140sq.ft. of sound deadener with the carpet. Definitely in love with the combo.

Ok i have a question, im thinking of ordering from stock interiors, and i want to match my carpet to the dark grey color on my door panels and dash, would that be charcoal, agate(ebony), dark grey, or graphite? anyone know? it doesnt have to be exact but i want it to be as close as possible, if not maybe just go black?

so what color is that? the black or graphite or what? and for our cars we would have to purchase the deck area seperately?
