where to get new carpet/installing it

[95escahoe]

Hello, I have a 4dr 95 Tahoe my carpet is pretty shot so I would like to replace it, I see LMC has it, anyone that has replaced there's is that where you got it? or are there other places you would recommend? and it terms of replacing it pretty much take out the seats, sill plates, and center console and you take the old one out and put the new one in, any tricks to doing that or is it as straight forward as it seems, thanks for the help

mine was from lmc. Take all trim out that hits carpet. You will have to cut new carpet holes. There is some heat shielding under old carpet that should stay in the truck with new carpet check your harnesses and sheet metal while carpet is out. If you want to lay some future wiring do it now. different bolts in different seat places to label them.

I havnt done it but when mine was dirty as **** I just vacuumed it and shampooed it and vuala good as new

Just take you time!!!! Measure 20 times then cut. I got mine from stockinteriors.com and am very pleased with it. It took me and a freind about 3 hrs to put it in and we have never put carpet in before. Take a look at my album pics.

I acualy think Lmc gets it from accmats.com something. I remember the packaging had the website on it. so check that too.

I think it was #853 but can't remember for sure. You can request samples and they will send them out pretty fast.

I will take a look at that, and gonna measure it a few times don't wanna mess this up, and how do you like your carpet? and did you get plush cut, ultra plush cut, or neon cut? cause depending on which it might be cheaper than LMC

Yea on mine I have a couple of cut holes from forgetting to lock the truck when it was in my backyard for years and some ass holes decided to smoke in there and burn the shit out of the seats, carpet, and headliner but it's a couple of burn marks so lesson learned

I will never understand why it cost you your nuts to buy from the supplier but only an arm to get it from a reseller of the same supplier.. Check out my old one.

Nuts lol. Just had to go there

 

[SunlitComet]

the sheets of heat shielding on stuck to the carpet side so peel of carefully and tack back down to body in proper places.

It looks easy on tv is it really?

cutting the holes is the hardest part. The padding attached to back of carpet was A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS to cut.

I changed the carpet in my neighbor tahoe he got it from lmc it's not thick like the factory
And I left the pad from the old Carpet and I think when I do mine I will take it out.
The new carp has padding it was to puffy With both pads. I called the dealer for a $ on the
Carpet $ 850 for front &the rear.

I love the carpet I got from stockinteriors. I got the Plush cut with mass backing. I am going to get the rear deck carpet in a few weeks as soon as I get the rear leak fixed.

Usually a supplier will only sell at MSRP because they don't want to undercut their main customers (the distributors). The distributors are the ones who can choose how much of a margin they want to be making.
