I am in Australia and am looking for new carpet. I had no trouble when my 84 needed carpet. The supplier here made the carpet and that was good. Now, I have a 91 Trans am and the supplier says that it is an 8 piece set. He says the pieces have to be made separately and molded because of the difference in the floor pans and console. Does that sound legitimate to you guys. thanks.

 

I thought the floor pans on all the 3rd gens were th same, but could be wrong. Maybe he's thinking of the 4th gen?

 

No, he definitly knows the difference. Something about the console. The exterior carpet around the base goes in first then the floors to make it look one piece.

 

i thought they were all the same myself i use to have a 91 bird and i got mine from hawks now i have a 86 ta and it needs carpet if you find out about the carpets for sure i would like to know myself

 

A quick check on the hawks link above shows that the carpet kits are broken up by the years this way: 82-84 & 85-92.

It seems to me that the 85-92 is made up of 2 pieces of molded carpet. One for the cargo area and one for the passenger area as you can order these separate. Not 8 different pieces though.

 

thanks alot i had forgot that i only got the front on my 91 not both only prob i had was the carpet was so thin not near as good as what i took out anyone know were to get carpet that is real plush like what is taken out or does hawks have dif grades i didnt see it if they do anybody try jc witney are they anygood ?

 

Na, JC Whitney doesn't carry high quality items IMO. Do a search on google for automotive carpet. If I remember correctly, a company named ACC makes quality molded carpet.

 

thank you about jc whitney was going to try them i didnt like hawks carpet at all for the cost i wasnt very happy .if you have yahoo i add you all who love these cars to my freinds list i like this site but no im my address is firebird952@yahoo.com

 

Is 1A carpet any good? I see they are on EBAY all the time.

 

I bought carpet from them a couple of years ago, so far no complaints looks good and it fit well, I only had to do minor trimming.

 

According to my 3 carpet suppliers 82-92 are the same carpet's.

 

Maybe the fit is not good on the later models. Dont know. I dont know why he says he needs to make an 8 piece set when he could do one in two pieces. Anyone have a later model carpet fitted in two pieces? I would like to hear from someone who has a 91-92 Trans am who has replaced his carpet. thanks.

 

no that's rediculous. i want whatever he's smokin..
