the new carpet was thicker, a little heavier, but thats what i wanted i guess. The stock carpet i had, there was holes in it from wear and tear. i dont believe that will happen again.

PM me as well! I bought my Z with black carpet in it, but it looks like the previous owner cut the fabric himself??? its uneven on the sides, and it doesnt cover everything up to the center console... I honestly think that people should be screened before buying F-Bodies. Just because you can afford one, doesnt mean you should own one!
