4door Intl Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 dont ever buy a new carpet unelss you wanna waste the $ fora dealer replacement. just clean or repair yours. i like to take mine out and bring it to the selve service car wash n pressure wash it I was just about to suggest the exact same thing, it's amazing just how new factory carpeted mats can look after a high pressure spray.

3pt1lumina Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 Or if it's real bad, get one from a j/y car, clean it and install it. Logikfive did it to his LTZ and it looked great. Quote

Seriously that's the thing to do, get the stuff from the junkyard. Aftermarket carpet will never be as nice. I think mine faded after I powerwashed it.....but I can redye it or just get some nice carpet from a junkyard car. Quote

3pt1lumina Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 I don't think so, but I just talked to him. There will be more on this soon. Stay tuned. Quote
logikf1ve Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 I wasn't really even looking for the carpet when I found the one I seen in the JY. The car it came out of had low miles. Before: Carpet I got from the JY after shampooing it on my kitchen floor, haha. Gutted interior... (Yes, in the last pic you can see I even had the headliner out for sunroof repair... ) It took me about four hours to do the entire carpet swap. Overall it wasn't hard to do. If you can operate a screwdriver and an awl, you should have no problem putting a new carpet in. I'm sad to say I don't have photos of the carpet after I installed it handy (because of a HDD crash and I never uploaded them to my Photobucket) Fitting the carpet up under the pedals and around the center console hump was the hardest part. Everything else was cake, just time consuming. Quote
LuminaPower92 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Would LTZ leathers fit in a 4 door Lumina? Quote
5speedz34 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 What the hell is an Awl? What did you use to "shampoo" it? The carpet looks amazing! Ya I've pulled carpet out of a few W's. It's not bad but its nice to have a helper. I think the reason mine faded is because I used simple green and a power washer, but to be honest who knows. Quote
5speedz34 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Would LTZ leathers fit in a 4 door Lumina? Of course. Quote

Everything else was cake, just time consuming. lol thats exactly what i did this year, just not on my kitchen floor lol. But i also reupholstered the front seats, replaced the trim, and the headliner lol. Mine took 9.5 hours to complete. I should have taken pics Quote
AL Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 I replaced mine in my 91 and the carpet was out of a 93 GP... Fit perfect lol Quote
spiderw31 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 What the hell is an Awl? It's a tool that is used to punch holes in various materials. See link below. http://www.shagtools.com/tools/Crain-Straight-Carpet-Awl-05-195.cfm?CFID=5999193&CFTOKEN=97378917 Quote

5speedz34 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Well the link didn't explain shit, but why would he need to put holes in the carpet? Quote
blackbombshell95 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Posted December 9, 2008 I picked up new carpet today from ACC. My stock carpet is a charcoal color. And the one I bought is black. It will match the rest of the new interior quite well. Quote
