Spent an hour this morning before work test fitting the new carpet. We splurged a little and got the plush pile with the mass backing. Really impressed with the quality; I wasn’t sure how good it would be after reading a few online reviews. The mass backing marks all of the cutouts for seatbelts and other mounting areas, all you need to do is cut them out. We had to fabricate a replacement rear carpet as the old red carpet simply wouldn’t cut it. I used the Kilmat material and applied two layers onto the back of the carpet to resemble the backing that was on the OEM carpet. It’s pliable enough to shape it to the contours but stiff enough to hold its shape. The new seat upholstery and sun visors also arrived today even though we weren’t expecting it for another 20 days or so and I hadn’t received a tracking number. But WOW! So impressed with the quality of the seats. All the carpets and seat upholstery was ordered from stockinteriors.com. Will definitely be leaving positive reviews for them once all is said and done. Can’t wait to install the new upholstery.
