will the interior carpet from a 4th gen work in a third gen..any specific year to look for(i have a 92 rs)I have heard it will fit but the sides look too wide....I tried a search but come up with nothing...or if you could refer me to a previous thread to answer this...i can get carpet from a 95 cheap and is a lot better looking than mine...thx

 

No a 4th gen carpet wont work right.

 

allright i'll play devils advocate!how do you know the carpet of a 4th gen won't work.share some details .


P.S. why? in the quote above is the word ***** blanked out?i know in some circles the word ***** is a bad word but in english laguage the word "*****" isn't a bad word.

 

First off, i think r-ic er is blocked out because it can be an insult word. (not using as one in this case mods) And second, a fourth gen will not fit because there is a hump on the passenger side that won't fit 3rd gen styles. Yes it's close but things will not line up correctly, i've tried and done my research, measured, and everything, i didn't find a way to make it fit and look stock.

 

thanks guys...just wondered before i spent money

 

The whole entire floor pan is shaped differently. Not to mention the rear carpet section doesnt fully cover the rear of the car like a thirdgen does, and the color wouldnt match to boot.

 

wouldn't be hard to match black would it?well anyway im just glad i asked before i bought thanks again

 

well, depends on what color your interior was before. If your interior is gray, then you might be able to pull it off. But i dont know about tan or any other color. And i hope we are talking about the same thing. oh, and i like marchmellows.

 

Watch out! Big brother is watching you.

That is exactly right. Normally I edit peoples post when they go around the filter, but I think I will leave this one. It explains the reason perfectly, and from a members point!

 

whats a marchmellow?my interior is black and grey..i found some new preformed carpet in year one for about 200

 

a marchmellow is a white poofy thing you eat. Hard to describe. Made of sugar. I dont know, it was really late last night.

 

i know what a marshmellow is. i guess i just misunderstood you.I didn't know where that came from

 

i bought black auto carpet from a hardware store (menards) for less than a dollar a square yard. cost me less than $20. By the way, everything yearone sells is overpriced. I think classic industries sells good carpet, precut and everything for around $100. But, if you want to do it cheap and dont care, look into a local hardware/carpet store.

 

i was going to do that but i was afraid that the bends and curves in the floor would buckle up...i have a classic ind. catalog I'll have to look at that...year one was good to me when i redone my 73 firebird is the only reason i checked with them...because i bought there before...the shipping is what kills you on that prefab carpet...

 

Why would you want to do it? What's so different about 4th gen carpet than 3rd gen carpet?

I'm not trying to be mean, i'm just ignorant.

 

Probably the part where you can find one still in nice shape used.
