looks like shit. it's just a disgusting carpet. looks and feels horrible. What came on cars with leather seats? vinyl in place of the carpet? (on the doors)

 

where can I get vinyl or something that'll match my blue interior?

 

it's 3am, excuse my stupidity.

Mine looks like shit too, I'm working on trying to take it off and it's a real bitch. The glue they used on it is rubbery and real hard to even get a tiny bit off. I'm planning on using trunk carpet to replace it with.

Oh believe me I'm aware :? I ripped off the old carpet on my front doors after I put in my power windows so I could throw on carpet from the donor car without holes in it from the window cranks. It's a LOT easier to pull them off if it's really warm out though.. makes the glue nice and tacky.

Thanks for the tip. It's like 85 outside, so I am inside airconditioning tryting. I guess I should lay them out for a "tan" :lol:

CONTACT CEMENT REMOVER :wink:

 

 

I redid my doors with some carpet I got at a regular carpet store. With the assistance of contact cement remover, a scraper of some sort, and finally some varsol to clean it good, I fitted the carpet and used contact cement. So far after several months they are still holding up 100%.
