Re: Replacement Carpet (Winging It)
if and when you replace the carpet, take some extra time and install a heat/sound barrier through out the whole floor, including console sides, firewall, etc. some even use insulation for all the small nooks in the corners. i used a double foiled barrier. it came in a 4x6 foot roll. bought 2. and spray glued the pieces down. the carpet will lay nice over it.
also, in the engine compartment, your heater and a/c box is less than 2" away from the exhaust manifold. i glued a piece to that surface to prevent it from getting hot and radiating heat to the inside of the box.
you'll be amazed at the difference in heat and sound inside your car.

Re: Replacement Carpet (dewayne4)
I got mine last year from Corvette Central but they were sourced from ACC... I was very pleased with the fit colour and quality... But all other vendors mentioned are quite reputable... If you're replacing other pieces of your interior (seats, door panels etc...) try to order them from the same vendor at about the same time to ensure colour match... I waited a couple of months between ordering most of my pieces and my storage doors and the red was a little different... Just afood for thought...
Good luck and have fun with your project!
