Replace carpet with vinyl

Hello everyone. I was looking at replacing my carpet and came across a trim parts carpet kit that is vinyl. I was wondering if anyone had used it before or had anything to say about trim parts carpets. I think I would like to use vinyl for ease of cleaning. I would like to order it but I don't want to waste my money.

Here's what I'm looking at.

Thanks for any advice in advance

According to the site it fits a 1987 Camaro sport 2.8. I even contacted customer support to be sure.

Re: Replace carpet with vinyl

They have the same type of kit listed under a ton of different car types so i assuming they have kits for anumber of different cars. I just tught itwas weird when clicked the link. I doubt its easier to clean and im assuming its cheaper for a reason.

Re: Replace carpet with vinyl

I am in the middle of installing Trim Parts carpeting in the front and rear of the 89 Camaro Vert. It seems to fit well and I am happy with what I got for the price. That being said... it's got nowhere near as good of backing as the factory carpet! I picked mine up at Summit Racing. I think the total was $300ish for the whole shooting match.

Re: Replace carpet with vinyl

If you want a spray down interior, get a Jeep. Seriously, vinyl flooring in a Camaro! I now think I've heard it all!

I thought I'd heard it all too until I saw the reply a few above yours telling him to rhino-line it.

My God.
