Replacement Carpet

66ninetyeightls · October 11th, 2009, 09:27 PM

I have decided that I will likely replace my carpet next spring. Can anyone recommend a good place to purchase a replacement carpet??

Thanks

ACC carpets are pretty good.

Trim Parts carpets are not so good.

Shop around, and buy for the lowest price.

I just bought my carpet from trim parts but haven't installed it yet. I asked for a carpet without the mat molded in so I can sew in my original mats but the carpet that was sent had the molded mat in it.

I will need to contact them to see what they will do to fix this.

I know Kanter and Fusicks sell carpet kits for your application. I'm not sure if they have "factory correct" colors or pile though. I've only had good experiences with these companies in the past. Their prices are pretty reasonable too.

You might also try to call a local interior shop. I'm sure they could replace your carpet. The only question is how much it would cost.

Kanter has 4 different grades of loop pile plus 2 different cut piles so you should be able to get what you need.

Gotta love a website that gives you a price on a carpet set without even knowing what model car it is. Kanter only asks you for the Make & year. How does that work???

Maybe their website is broken...
