3pt1lumina Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Or if it's real bad, get one from a j/y car, clean it and install it. Logikfive did it to his LTZ and it looked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logikf1ve Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I wasn't really even looking for the carpet when I found the one I seen in the JY. The car it came out of had low miles. Before: Carpet I got from the JY after shampooing it on my kitchen floor, haha. Gutted interior... (Yes, in the last pic you can see I even had the headliner out for sunroof repair... ) It took me about four hours to do the entire carpet swap. Overall it wasn't hard to do. If you can operate a screwdriver and an awl, you should have no problem putting a new carpet in. I'm sad to say I don't have photos of the carpet after I installed it handy (because of a HDD crash and I never uploaded them to my Photobucket) Fitting the carpet up under the pedals and around the center console hump was the hardest part. Everything else was cake, just time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminaPower92 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Would LTZ leathers fit in a 4 door Lumina? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 What the hell is an Awl? What did you use to "shampoo" it? The carpet looks amazing! Ya I've pulled carpet out of a few W's. It's not bad but its nice to have a helper. I think the reason mine faded is because I used simple green and a power washer, but to be honest who knows.

Everything else was cake, just time consuming. lol thats exactly what i did this year, just not on my kitchen floor lol. But i also reupholstered the front seats, replaced the trim, and the headliner lol. Mine took 9.5 hours to complete.

blackbombshell95 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I picked up new carpet today from ACC. My stock carpet is a charcoal color. And the one I bought is black. It will match the rest of the new interior quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
