Can you guys recommend a source for new interior carpet, 1996 Camaro.
I have another post in classified looking for a used set, but I may need to source it new. Im sure the dealer/original part is either not available, or unbelievably priced. thanks in advance |

Well I got the samples yesterday.
They are certainly not OEM quality, but for the price I think I will give it a shot. This is not a daily driver so wear is only a limited concern. Probably throw some kind of cheap matt on the driver side. The OEM has heavy backing pad in strategic places which I sort of doubt comes on the replacement carpet. Anybody have suggestions, especially near the trans tunnel where the exhaust runs? thanks bock |

I thought their mass backing option was designed to replace the OEM backing? Which color number did you pick? I am pretty much zeroed in on 8335 (Antelope). The stock carpet has big areas of thick woven pad material affixed the underside of the carpet (not the entire backer, just selected areas, mainly horizontal area). I'm thinking these are heat/sound deadening or some such purpose. I was not planning on buying the mass backer, but may need to rethink that. I was thinking of putting down some of that silver sound deadening stuff (cant remember the name of it) in the area of the exhaust run, but leaving the rest bare metal. This car is no longer raced, and is street driven about 1000 miles a year. |
