I am looking for the best place to buy carpet for my 85 z28 prices are outragious would be cheaper for a vet any help would be apprecieated.

 

Got mine at 1a auto, don't remember the price but it wasn't outragious. Check em out.

 

THANKS FOR THE HELP SUMMIT AND YEAR ONE WANTED A ARM AND A LEG FOR THERE CARPET.

 

dye/paint it black, covers up and hides well.

mine is black now.

 

you wouldnt be able to send me some pics of yours after it was died would you

 

http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/ has good stuff, both new and used...

 

I guess i don't get it. When I replaced the carpet on my old Camaro RS, I got it from Classic Industries because I had a discount code, but if I remember right, Year One and Summit's prices were pretty similar. If I remember right, I it was under $200 dollars for the passenger area piece, and then I went ahead and replaced the hatch area piece while I was at it, which was around $100(and this was before the discount) which is hardly an arm and a leg considering the improvement it makes.

Also, do not(AND I REPEAT DO NOT) take Gumby's advice and dye/paint it. It looks horrible and WILL fade quickly.

 

First I did a test sample on a small piece to test the wear factor.
Rubbing it with a sanding block to sim years of shoes rubbing on it.
Held up great.

Doing it over a railing helped to open up the carpet fibers, remember a carpet fiber has 4 sides. Why when you shampoo or vacuum you go back n fourth in two directions to get all sides.

Used a wire brush as I sprayed to make sure all sides got coated and it didn't bunch up or clump. Rembmer the carpet is just plastic, it may says dye on the can but its just paint with a flex agent.

Been 4-5 yrs, still looks nice.

 

2nd to last pic is backwards, sub box sits behind me, I don't run the flip down back but do keep 1 seat bottom in the car. Its a two seater car, gotta be desperate to wanna ride in the back with my rear STB in your back.

I like it that way.

Like having a truck or dare I say fiero, you can keep all your friends from wanting to pile in for a ride. [can't ride in the back here.]

Which I use to not understand until I could drive and had 30 people try to crame in my car all the time.

Though I do have a station wagon too, stock it seats 9 comfy.

well jimmie with all do respect i guess every one does not have your money after tax from sumit i was looking at a little ove 500 for the passanger and the hatch.. I have a wife and kid that i put before my car so it takes me a little longer than some to build and i have to git a deal when i can.. but never the less its been a year and a half since i got the car and i think i will have here done for a car show in june all i like is rims carpet and apolstry

 

Whoa, I am by no means full of money, and I also have a girlfriend, 2 kids, a mortgage, a truck payment, etc. When I redid the interior of my last little project, I used my tax return. I just had to do some research and find the best deal. I purchased the passenger and hatch carpet pieces as well as the upholstery kit for the seats for right around $600(the carpet was about $300, and the rest was the upholstery) by doing a google search for classic industries discount codes, and as far as results go, I think it was money well spent(although I kind of wish I had went with black carpet once I got the seats done and installed).
