I really hate the way my interior looks
Thanks

Got it from this website; http://www.yourautotrim.com/80wideozite.html
It is 13.95 per linear yard which is 80" wide. 3 to 4 yards should cover an entire f-body depending on how **** you are to adhere to every bend in the floor pan.
Yes it is a flat rolled carpet that you have to 'mold' and cut to shape yourself. Like I said before, just take your time, use a heat gun or a hair drier [i used a hair dryer] and it will come out well.

And are you sure that you're stock carpeting is still going to fit over that, or at least fit over it with still being able to install the panels and seats back in as well?
Looks good though bro, nice work.

the stock carpet will definitely fit. The Ozite is thin as hell and I will take the 1/2" thick padding off from under the factory carpet. It will fit

Yup I used the black. Now that I think about it, I have a dark dark gray carpet, I don't think F-bodies ever came strait black carpet. But I got the black Ozite.

I bought the dark grey carpet, and after holding it up against the carpet that came with the ebony interior in an 01 car, it's so close color wise that you wouldn't ever know it was different unless someone told you. The 2 really are that close.
I hope that helps (sory alex for hi-jacking the thread a bit)

WOW, awesome install. I tryed to install the ozite carpet last winter, got fed up with it, and just put back in the stock carpet with no backing. That must have taken alot of time to get the carpet to look that nice.

Usualy I want things done yesterday, but when it comes to the car, I would rather take my time and do it right the first time. Money is tight, so the Ozite was a great way to go, it took a wie because I was only able to work on it a few hours a weekend here and there.

Hm.. lets see..
The front passenger side took about 2hr, drivers side maybe 2.5hr, middle took maybe 1hr, rear seats and back deck about 2hr.
With a fudge factor I would say 8-9 hours of total labor but it took a few weeks working 1 or 2 hours on the weekends.
I used 3M Spray Adhesive 12.99 a can in Home Depot.

Alex, Good post and Very Nice work. I can tell you really took your time.
It really pays to do things right.
Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
So how much would you charge to do my car?

You did a great job.
The only part I had a problem with was the area where the back seat used to be. The bucket area and the flat area above were a pain to lay right.
