That was my thinking behind it. I'm changing my whole interior over to black. $74.80 though for carpet....

I just finished up mine today. It took a couple of days, but that's because I had to keep stopping to help out a couple of friends with their cars. Wasn't that bad. The carpet is black, but it's hard to tell because the sun was so bright. I'm glad I cut those back seat brackets off

I know man. I didn't do the quick math and was like "cool only $15 per yard" before I ordered four yards and added shipping. Thats around $3/ lbs for the weight saving dollar per pound ratio in my case. If other people really did have heavier carpet than me then theirs is better.

I just installed my ozite carpet a couple of days ago. The 3m general trim adhesive I used worked great. These are the best pics I have but I thought it turned out pretty good considering how light weight the carpet was.

Man those cars look NICE! Where is the cheapest place to get Ozite?


Those are the two best installs BY FAR I have seen.

ZO6kern, I see you took the Ozite further into the ttop/trunk hole a little further than I did. How far down did you apply the new carpet? Looks good BTW. I tucked the ozite (about four inches worth) under the stock trunk carpet and it looks like you still have it in.
