Personal Experience with Aftermarket Carpet?

[RedPhoenix]

So its time to put carpet in the car. I am doing black.

Does anyone have personal experience with Stock Interiors dot com?

I am doing a basic black carpet with no extra fluff. I know all the holes need to be cut and extra material to be removed...

Does anyone have an insight on this company or others?

Can't say I've heard of them. GrimJack, he may have some insight as to a good company for this though, I think he replaced his interior carpet.

You can check out this thread http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?134839-I-m-starting-a-thread-for-my-interior-revamp there is a good write up on Ardvark (i believe) carpet. Price doesn't seem bad either.

That's the company I bought my new carpet from this past spring. I went with black plush-pile with mass-backing and also got the trunk-piece too. Honestly, it was really really easy to replace. I'd heard so many people say what a pain it is to replace the carpet that I went in dreading it... just go slow and get it exactly where it belongs before marking/cutting the holes (<--obvious) and you're golden.
Oh - You asked about the quality of the carpet - well I've only got about 1000 miles on the car since then but it seems to be as good as stock to me, only issue is that it doesn't have the plastic edging stuff that the stock has along the bottom of the doors so you have to tuck it under the plastic sills and screw them down...

You can get the stock green strips or remove yours if you have them and they arent obliterated; the edges of the carpet are just stapled to them and they hook in nicely.
