Carpet old vs new RESOLVED

[Danno]

Did you get that small curvy piece for the hump behind the console? I don't see it in your patterns.

[4uall]

true yes I did, actually have everything which was nice going to re-do the trunk as well

[Danno]

Good! I think I actually saved my carpet so that I could make new patterns instead of making patterns from my copies. As for the trunk, I did that, too, but the trunk board has been replaced with OSB. It actually looks pretty good when it's clean. i'll have to take pictures sometime...

these were sexy

yep, that's about what mine looked like, too. 'cept I don't remember having that plastic piece to come up over the fuel hoses. When I redid mine I made it in two parts one that goes over the tank and one that goes over the spare tire location. I think I still have that spare somewhere, but for now that's a good place to store things without making the trunk look messy. My halves of the trunk are much larger than the original cover and actually a pain to fit into the trunk because of the tight fit.

Thanks for the info.

Looks like this is my winter project. I'll check to see if there's a tan colour out there, too.

so almost 3 yrs to the day I was able to find and install (partially) some more diy carpeting

[spider2081]

I don't see them either. there is just a circle with a - symbol in the center where each picture would be.

This carpet looks pretty close to OEM. It is a little thicker and te colors are not exact.
