Pre-cut vinyl "carpet"?

Ok, I've gone ahead and cleaned out all the dirt, dust, and trash from the last 6 years with no interior. And now I'm ready for my vinyl carpet replacement. So here's the question, where can I get precut specifically for 3rd gen vinyl flooring? And by vinyl flooring I'm talking about the floor you see in work trucks and P71 Crown Vic Police cars.



Thanks in advance for the info.

Anybody who sells molded carpets should have this option available, though most (including me) don't list it on their website.

Re: Pre-cut vinyl "carpet"?

That's a different idea... What are the price differences and the perks of having 1....?

Well for me the perks are they are easier to clean and they won't mildew or grow mold like carpet will if water constantly leaks in your car.

Price I have no idea yet.

Re: Pre-cut vinyl "carpet"?

Ok, the interior prep work is coming along. I sprayed some sound/vibration deadening stuff from the driveshaft tunnel, passenger floorboard (front to back), under the driver's seat, in the hatch area, in the rear seat wells, and around the walls next to the speakers in the rear. It actually worked! The sound with the windows up has been reduced by at least a third. Next I plan on puting down some dynomat before the carpet/vinyl gets laid down.

Older --> Old --> New


Can anyone think of something I may have missed? I don't feel like removing all of the wires and such from around the console on the driveshaft tunnel. I mostly got the rest fo the red paint removed. I plan on adding another coat or two of the sound deadening stuff to make sure it gets coated as well as possible.

Jim85IROC has some great carpets/vinyls and dool panels I'm going to get when the time is right. Looks like I can be able to get a good dark grey/charcoal + black interior afterall. Now, I need some good black leather 4th gen seats in good shape.

If you mean the spray sound/vibration deadener the lighting outside was bad so I plan on taking new pics soon. The ones I took closeup of the stuff were too blurry and had bad lighting, I'll get to them hopefully Monday or Tuesday.
