update on the carpet i bought from walmart

[drowndindreams]

did it today, turned out alot better than i expected. the only thing is that since i didnt remove my stock carpet (the new one was thin) it got a little loose in the back, but not that bad.

also i think i saw another member on the way to my pops, 1sikyukon. It was one sick yukon.

Real nice with the black carpet against the gray interior. Hmmm, you've got me thinking!

Dude, you HAVE to do a write up. It looks like it turned out great. How much did everything cost too?

 

[grnrpr68]

Write up that looks kick ass nice job

Lol it was fairly easy, except for the labor. Whole job took about 5 hours. Picked up the 3 rolls of carpet from walmart for $30. They measure 36x72, I did the cabin and had another 24x72 piece left. The ***** is that it won't hold, I need to glue it down. But i don't know whether the glue will show through or not. The interior is grey. I was saving up for this for a while (it was going to cost $250 from my guy) and went into walmart and found these, I immediately bought them. I have to say I'm really pleased. No more disgusting gray carpet.

Does walmart have the a tan carpet? i wanna recover the front carpet of my Hoe, and i just finished my fiberglass sub box and want to carpet it?

 

[drowndindreams]

from what i saw they have black and grey. they also have big rolls of floor mats that you can cut to size

I grabbed some of that carpet for my Camaro, haven't put it in. Looks good so I might do it sooner then later.

Hey you didn't carpet the area around the front door speakers did you?

I really wanna do this but I have a feeling that it's gonna turn out like shit lol.

 

[drowndindreams]

no but believe me i want to. i thought about it a long time ago. i took the door panel off and i saw that the carpet is super-glued, and that piece cant come off without it being cut. had i cut it I wouldnt know how to put it back.

looks awesome dude!!
I've always wanted to swap my carpet but been too afraid because of the labor
heard its a ***** to steam press it into all the grooves and what not

might have to try some cheap carpet since the kits are like $300 with mass backing

 

[drowndindreams]

thanks dude. before i found these carpets i was looking at a $250 carpet without mass backing. unfortunately this ones thin so i layed it over the reg. carpet. the pain is that the sob wont stay down, so i have to take all the seats back out (which was a 5 hour job) and glue it
