Anybody get new carpet?

You know that sort of custom formed carpet advertised in some mags? Anyone have that. I was thinking of getting new carpet since my is ass.

Anyone?

Yes, I've got some. I ordered mine from www.automotiveinteriors.com

They are actually selling the ACC Mat (www.accmat.com), but it's much cheaper. Anyways, it took about 4 days to be delivered, and then, just had to put it in.

Installation was kindof a pain. Basically, you've gotta strip the interior (seats, center console, door sills, e-brake handle, gas tank/hatch levers, etc. Then remove the old carpet, put it on top of the new carpet (line it up as close as you can), trace the holes in the old carpet onto the new carpet using a permanent marker. Cut out the holes in the new carpet and put the carpet in. Then reinstall all the interior stuff. Cutting all the holes is a pain in the ass, because of the cushion material attached to parts of the carpet, plus, you have to cut ALL the holes (for seat rails, wiring, etc.).

If you do this, when you cut out the holes, cut them alot smaller than the original ones. For one thing, the old holes are larger than they really need to be, and for another, if you mess up, you can always trim the holes some more (if you cut too much, you're screwed!).

It took me about 6 hours to do this including removal/installation of seats and stuff.

For $135, it's well worth it. My carpet was TRASHED, and now it looks brand new...

Hope this helps

I know that JC Whitney makes preformed carpets for your car. I was going to replace the carpet in my silver car, but I got another CRX instead. So I don't know if you have to cut the holes for it or not.
