Poindexter Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Be sure to let us know about how well the pieces fit when you get it installed.Dennis 1971 240Z Original Owner X2! Me too! I'm almost done with the mechanical phase and I'm heading into cosmetic restoration. After DynaMatting- or whatever skin I put down first, next comes carpet, and none too soon. My ears are constantly being assaulted by the admittedly wonderful noises, but I need to deal with being inside a stripped bare metal shell with an engine inches in front of me spinning away at 6,00 RPM. After months of research I'm still not sold on any one vendor, but this looks great so far. Please- how's it going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 I had just pulled it all from the box in that picture. I let it stand out there in the hot sun for the rest of the day to take out the fold marks, then I vacuumed it and it turned out beautiful. I will pull my seats and console this weekend and install the full kit. I choose the gunmetal color because I'm tired of every little particle and my pets hair showing up on the black carpet. I think the gray goes good with the black interior, and it even blends with the red paint also... I will post up the finished pictures soon as I can...

kiwi303 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I had a look at his ebay store, then asked a Q on the ZX carpet auction... they can do ZX 2+2, and at a price, that includign shippign to NZ, is pretty attractive Rather than cut and sew my own by hand with a sailmakers needle I might just use him. Whats the backing like? will it do as sound deadening without needing jute or felt on the floors? How solid is the hemming, is the stiching solid? sorry for all the Q's thanks in advance for your replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Not much of a update, but I got the tunnel and rear ledge installed today. More to come.... I forgot to update, so heres a few more. I had to send the pieces that fit under the seat back to be re cut (I sent a pattern I made) and they re made them to my pattern and returned them asap. I did not use the door sill pieces due to me having a new oem pair of the vinyl pieces. Anyone with a 240/ early 260 should be able to get the correct pieces, now that they have my correct patterns to go off of. This is not a top shelf quality kit, but for the money, you can't beat it. I'm real pleased with what I got for the money, and it looks good to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
