Carpeted Interior Pieces

Just want to let all you guys that are thinking about getting
Interior pieces Carpeted by an Interior guy what I spent.
I took 6 pieces in to get carpeting... They were the Rear Hatch
piece with locking box, Rear hatch piece, Passenger side spare
tire cover piece, passenger side 6x9 plastic panel, and 2 kickpanels. He estimated about $150.00 for me.

I repainted all the pieces before I took them in. You may have seen pictures in an earlier post....

I also did check to see how much he would charge to reupolster a security cover roll. He quoted me $80-100 to redo it and he would use a boat material I guess... Anyways I thought that was steep and I am gonna look around to see if I can find it cheaper somewhere else. Mine is faded bad...

Let me know what you think guys!

THANKS!

sounds good. I used to have carpeted interior pieces but since I changed color of my interior and got new plastic parts I kind of miss the carpet pieces.

You can buy non-backed carpet for around $5-8 a yard, and because there's no backing, it's extremely easy to work with, and you can cut it to fit in all of the stock carpet locations. I'll bet you could do the whole car in an afternoon for under $50.

The Paddock sells uncut carpet to fit those pieces for $32.95 per linear yard. If you don't wish to cut the pieces, they sell pre-cut for $59.95. See page 6 for their current cataloge.
