Re: carpet vendor options
If I remember correctly, the carpet was mounted directly onto the floor. Does padding or sound/heat insulation help enough to justify its existence?

Re: carpet vendor options
Being a big Chip Foose fan, I gave my car the complete dynamat treatment when I initially restored it. I think it works great, makes the car seem more solid/substantial and less tinny. It’s heavy, but worth it IMO. I attached the carpet directly over it without the padding...

Re: carpet vendor options
Here's a thought. I used to drive a Jaguar that had a tan interior. It had brown carpet. It looked great2mAn wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 3:04 pm Ive been thinking about adding carpet back into my car and though the Tan isnt the correct color I think Im leaning that way since my other interior panels are all tan. Is there anything else thats needed besides a carpet kit itself? Anything belong underneath it or needed to hold it in place?

Wow, the manufacturers are passing on some serious increases. $290 just two years later. Or is jute pad now included? I'm seeing single piece kits on-line with higher end options like, extra plush, mass backing.......Wondering how hard that would be to install?

Re: carpet vendor options
The carpet we sell has jute pad installed. We have sold this patterned kit for 17 years now. There is a fastener kit that you can add on to be able to un snap and remove the carpet if it were to get wet.

Re: carpet vendor options
I have bought most all my parts to do my resto from Datsunparts.com. I have been pleased with everything I have bought and I am picky. Just sayin.

Re: carpet vendor options
The increase is $55 in 2 years and these are US made kits, made from an original pattern. Look at what other parts have climbed to in price over 2 years or look at the prices of the cars in just 2 years, then you can be surprised.DAC21 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:29 amDAC21 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:22 amzippy67roadster wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 7:36 pm I have them here on my website for $235 shipped. http://sincitydatsuns.com/store/p107/Da ... gh_70.html

Re: carpet vendor options
Thanks for the feedback. I ended up having the upholstery shop that refoamed my seats put wool carpet in the car.
