i'm looking into making my own rear seat deletes... and if all goes well i may start producing them to sell. buy anyway. does anybody know where i could get carpet for them? does any place sell uncut automotive carpet that i could use? any help is much appreciated

 

what is a rear seat delete? Most people just take out the seats, and sometimes put new carpet in to cover stuff up.

 

well, i never took my rear seats out yet, but plan to. i heard that there is some metal brackets or stuff like that which makes things kinda unsightly so i've heard. what i was planning on doing was makin something that would bolt in place of the seats but made a flat surface where the seats were insead of the big "dip" where your seats used to be. kinda clean things up a bit back there.

 

i understand you. i'd try to make something out of fiberglass to get the unique shape and then carpet it.

 

i have seen carpet sell in a hardware store (Menards), only black though. Less than a $1 per square yard.

 

yup thats what i'd like to do hopefully. maybe if something turns out good enough i could make more and sell em... we'll see

 

well, if you think about selling a lot of them, you should also research patents and stuff like that.

 

I saw something a while back. I'l try to post a pic

 

Not my car by the way.

 

seen the picture... thats how i'd like to make em. almost looks like he's got some kind of carpet that you'd put in your house...

 

Somebody was selling those on eBay a while back. They looked pretty cool. I wonder how much weight they could handle. It'd be nice to have a nice flat surface back there.

 

I think it's the same carpet used for speaker enclosures.

 

i was thinking put them in and then put carpet down over everything.

 

Speaker box carpet would probably be the easiest to work with, and although it doesn't look like a good match with a camera flash, in person it's usually a very good match.

I believe ACC also sells unbacked carpet to match their molded automotive carpet.

 

I would use "speaker box" carpet. I covered my whole floors in it to save weight. 2 years and very little wear to the carpet. It's thin and light but holds up pretty well.

You can find the basic colors (black, tan, brown, etc) at wal-mart, for your red, blue, etc you will need to go to an auto parts store. I seen rolls of it in just about all the bigger chain stores (auto zone, advance, pep boys, etc)

I bought my black from wal-mart for under $8 a roll, and got my red from auto zone for under $10 a roll. Each roll is 36" x 72" and weighs 1.66 lbs per roll

You can hot glue or staple it to wood. I used hot glue when I put it on my speaker plate., but used a spray on glue when I put it on my floors.

 

sweet... thanks for the help guys
