I'm looking into buying my carpet, for my 65, from RockAuto. Anyone ever used their Mass Backing carpet? If so, is it worth the price difference? I've already put in one later of EZ Cool Heat Barrier and was wondering if the carpet would be to thick.
Isn’t it AAC band. I know rockauto sells that brand
It is. I don't know much about the difference between their standard carpet and the mass backing carpet....other than it states the mass backing is for heat and sound deafening.
FWIW, I used the Rock Auto carpet without insulation, but bought the insulation from Zip, the job came out nice, but took a little time, the car looks like it came from the factory. If you have never installed carpet in a C2, go to a trim shop & pay the money for them to do the job, it'll be money well spent.

I used my own barrier i.e. alum backing but went with their upgrade on the carpet. The number of the one that I bought is 1001 it is really plush but is not the 80/20 loop ask for a sample and then make your choice. Hope that helps.

I disagree. I think most everyone on this forum is capable of installing carpet in a C2. Not difficult if you just take your time. Lots of threads with helpful hints.
Thanks everyone for the inputs. I definitely plan on doing my own carpet. I just wasn't sure if the extra mass backing would be of any benefit since I'm already installing some heat barrier. Here's a picture of the EZ Cool I'm installing. Debating on a second layer.
