Challenger Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 http://www.upgrademotoring.com/seats_interior/carpet_kits.htm Anyone bought from them? They sell a complete carpet kit for a 2+2 for a reasonable price so Im considering them. I think someone mentioned them before but I couldnt find anything.

RB26powered74zcar Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Sorry, I haven't heard of them, but here is another > http://www.stockinteriors.com/AutoCarpet.asp?Itemid=8948&MakeId=38&ModelId=315 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 They advertise a shocktower and wheel well kit so I emailed them asking if they are vinyl or not. Havent found vinyl replacements anywhere else. Ill also be asking for a sample to see how nice the carpet is. Stock interior seems to be alot cheaper. Ill have to find some reviews. I like the option for mass backing, paired up with sound deadening mat you can have yourself a quiet car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmogSUX Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 It seems every thread I search on carpeting kits, ends with noone ordering and following up. Has ANYONE bought a carpet kit from one of these sites with positive results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Im still waiting for a response... Ive concluded Ill order from one of these two places; both seem to have good prices and a large inventory. The samples/pictures I get will help me decide. I have to buy my sound deadening first so It might be around a month till I buy the carpet. But I WILL post what my opinion of whichever one I buy.

SmogSUX Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 hmm I may go ahead and order a set too...I'm finishing the interior or my car first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Ends up that Stock Interiors doesnt sell the entire kit for a 2+2, although I still check into it. I may have to go with Upgrade Motoring for carpet. (they sell the entire 2+2 kit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmogSUX Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I'm going to go ahead and order the carpet for my 240z....does anyone know the difference between the full floor kit and the 5 pc sectional kit? They look the same to me in the pictures =/ I kinda wanted to go with the stock interiors for that mass backing option. I'm aiming for the super quiet and comfy interior but they only offer the 5 pc sectional kit...if that means it'll cover all my floor and cargo area I'm set! My vinyl is all nice, but I'm going to replace it with some custom interior fabric so I just need ALL the carpeting. http://www.datsunrestore.com/catalog.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Can't help, but I'm watching this thread. There is a local guy that sells nice carpet really cheap, like 40 bucks to do my whole car, BUT it's not cut or formed or hemmed or anything. SO I dunno if I really want to be THAT involved in every aspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janaka Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 for $40 I'd get it then take it to a sewing place and get them to finish the edges for you... helluva deal IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 I think $40 is just for a roll of carpet. Hed have to cut it up to shape it unless he has a huge heated press theshape of a Z's floor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 40 was just for the roll. DId you guy's get your kit's yet? I'm thinking this is the better way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I see "door sills" mentioned, so I'd assume thats part of the "full kit"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/SIC04C02/40-2564 Looks like MSA sells carpet for the 2+2 also. Id buy carpet but I just bought a parts car so Ill have to wait to get some money saved up. I just got my sample from stock interiors and didnt really like the carpet. It was really thick and shaggy, even thought it was the thinnist they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmogSUX Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Think you could take an up close picture of their sample? I don't mind shaggy as long as it doesn't like fall apart ; btw what type of carpet did you get a sample of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Taking a picture wont show it at all. If you go to stock interiors website and click on samples you can get one in a few days. (really quick shipping) I got the plush cut pile, in black.

BillZ260 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I should be done w/ my sound layers soon. How was the quality of the carpet you got? Not sure which cut, or even color that I want yet, but i t looks like they had a lot of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calpoly-z Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I ended up picking up some nice cut pile carpet from my local upholstery shop and cutting all my own patterns. I wanted to eliminate the center console and carpet over the tranny tunnel so no kit was going to be available. I had no upholstery experience before this but everthing seems to have come out pretty well. I bought 2 yards of a 72'' wide roll and about 2 yard of jute padding. I took rough measurements and then cut everthing little bigger than needed and trimmed it all down to fit. The passenger compartment took 6 pieces to cover (2 footwells and 2 behind seat areas plus the rear vertical wall and the tranny tunnel). I didnt bother to get the edges seemed so if edges begin to fray I might do this later. Considering what I had before (really crappy 2 piece JC whitney loop) it looks amazing. I'll post some pice later tonight when I get home. Total cost was around $80 for the carpet and $30 for the padding but i bought about 3/4 of a yard too much carpet (it might be enough to recover the rear deck though) and it was high quality stuff. It took me about 6-8 hours total but really wasn't hard at all. Just took patience to ensure everything fit well. BillZ260- I would get the roll and just go for it. What do you have to lose?

BillZ260 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Calpoly, thanks for the update, I'm wanting to get rid of the arm rest as well. Can you post any measurments you have? I'd also like to see how yours turned out! I don't have much to loose, but I want it to look decent and I want it done I'm just about finished w/ my sound deadening so I was actually checking this thread to get the links to buy my carpet. I didn't know the carpet kits wouln't cover the hump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
