i want to put red carpet in my 83.. but i can only find it for 85+... whats the difference between them? or can i use the carpet for the 85?

 

The difference is in the plastic reinforcement on the driver side, the 82-84s have a much larger reinforcement, as well as another one the transmission tunnel.

 

is there a way i can make it work?

 

We carry the ACC carpets for your 83. Here's a link to them on our site. I can send you out a free color sample too, if you need a color other than black.

Chevy Camaro Carpet

 

so basically.. no one makes the red carpet for my year... and no one knows if i can make the 85 carpet work

 

Did you not just see what A1Tony just said? He linked exactly what you are looking for. Also A1 Auto is a great company to deal with.

 

no actually i didnt... because it didnt update on my CP... so i didnt think to read before i posted

but.. correct me if im wrong... it doesnt look like they cary it in red... which is why i was wondering if i could use the 85+ or if that extra plastic is needed...

 

Haha no problem man, I believe that happened to me before aswell. Also I see what you are saying, there isn't a "red", Talk to A1 I gaurantee that they should or have to have red carpet, idk why they wouldn't.

Especially since Hawks has it in Russet, Medium Beige, Flame Red, DK Red Carmine, Oxblood, and Cognac. http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/carpet.aspx

 

but notice those colors are only listed under 85+... which brings me back to my origonal question... is there to much of a difference for me to use the 85... and the first reply said it has something to do with a plastic backing.... i might just try it.. and if it doesnt fit, someone else will benefit from my mistake... or.. i will make it fit haha

 

The carpet from an 82 will fit in a 92 and vice versa, just the rubber pad on the drivers side, and the colors might be different from year to year.

 

THANK YOU!!!! thats what i wanted to know.... i was just wondering if it would cause a problem or not
