Re: Is this stock carpet?
Agree with all the above. Defiantly not stock. Looks like a hack job.
Front and rear seats = 1 piece
Back of rear seats to the rear hatch panel = 1 piece
Most after market carpet companies make their carpet in two pieces to match OEM.

Definitely not factory carpet. Looks to be very low quality, and a poor install job to boot.

Re: Is this stock carpet?
Agree it's not factory.
But I cannot agree that it's a hack job, or poor install. When working with flat stock, seams are an essential. Look at the carpet kit for a TR6, or other British car. It's all done in panels.
These seams are straight, folded over at the edge, and kept to places where they will do no harm. I think the quality of the work is good, considering what he/she had to work with.
The quality of the material is another story. But hot-rodding was BUILT on people doing it for themselves, with the materials on hand. All in all, I don't think it looks bad.
