Look good let us know how it fits what did you end up paying for shipping to Canada on that?


I'll be sure to let you guys know how it fits. The price I paid including shipping to Canada was $178.00 CAD. I couldn't argue with that since most other companies were going to cage more for shipping and send it USPS. Motorsouth sent my carpet UPS and I didn;t get charged for duty and it only took 6 days for delivery.

Man, that looks great, I need new carpet. Oh well, someday... I'll actually probably ask for a carpet kit for Xmas. :naughty:

BTW, thanks for giving me the link to Motorsouth, their regular kit costs $118 + shipping, VERY AWESOME price, thanks alot. I'll definently look into this as a gift to ask for.

hey guys,

I know the price of the carpet i got was cheap, however the way it installed looked that way to. The company "Stock Interiors" made the carpet way too stiff and added too heavy of a jute to the back. This caused the carpet to not fit the lower edges around the floor pan to fit properly. Since jute was soo heavy (40oz jute) the passenger seat is more difficult to slide forward and back since it rubs along the carpet on the tranny tunnel and the side sills have a hard time fitting on properly. On the plus side the 40oz jut combined with the sound deadener makes fora very quiet ride.

Was the weight of the carpet an option or is this the way they make all their interiors?

I know exactly what I want my interior to look like and it depends on a great looking/fitting black carpet. Then I will need grey leather seats with black inserts and some leather side panels. Just thinking about this makes me feel like Im cheating on my car...and the performance mods I promised it. lol

2 questions. First, did you order the mass backing as well? And second, how the hell did you get free shipping?!?!?! :icon_conf

I wish i did. I think you should at least try


Good luck and post pics
I need a morale boost first :1zhelp: :biglaugh:


I keep seeing how everyone orders carpets that fit so well...... though they are molded and SHOULD fit well............. but damn the S&H to PR :icon_conf :icon_mad: :icon_evil


And, if I DO make the carpet myself with my friend, it'll be now in December as soon as we're both done with our finals.


In fact, just remembered in this edit. You guys know the green clips to the sides of the original carpet, right? Do I need them? Cuz I think I threw mine away...........................................

I paid less than $125 shipped for mine from StockInteriors, fits great. It's all in how good you make it fit, I even stapled the green rails back on correctly.


hmm. did you find the carpet too stiff and thick compared to the stock carpet. I think i payed $170 after the conversion to canadian currency. Myabe i'll just buy another and get a profesional shop to do it. People dont notice the flaws, but I do.
