Carpet???

Hey My ride is getting up there in years and has the lt grey TA carpet. It needs to be replaced the rest of the interior is sweet with Corbeau seats 97 dig odometer gauges, 97 console and the stock stuff is good condition. But the carpet has coffee stain and is just down right nasty

Any good aftermarket carpet suppliers that color match with GM original carpets. Always looking for bang for buck but the quality is VERY important!

I priced them out a while back, and I remember it being ~$200+ for a new carpet!

I took mine to an autocleanin place that did carpet cleaning, came out awesome!!!

Yours may be worse than this though:

Simple Green and a scrub brush made a hell of a difference on the interior panels.

They're one of the sponsors for the site too... I'm not sure if you've checked them out yet or not? The owner of that company signed up here a while back asking questions about interest on some really high quality carpet. They can color match the OEM colors and a few custom colors I do believe.

I remember the guy talking about how high quality their stuff is... even better than OEM. $350 a pop but I'm pretty sure once you installed this you'd never have to worry about it again.

Came like that. Old man w/ a dog owned.

Mine's not quite that dirty I have a grease spot from working on it I think and a huge coffee stain from spilling coffee But the light colored carpet shows everything and compared to the rest of my interior just looks horrible.

That show carpet is sweet and I've thought about it without the rubber backing (it is EXTREMELY heavy with it) but I don't know anyone who has actually had it in an F-body was hoping to get some real world experience
