Carpet Installation Pics Finally
Well I charged up the battery in the Digital Cam last night (tried to shoot pics then but couldn't)
Here's the newly leathered seats and new carpet. Some new other parts too such as windshield pillars, dashboard and seat buckets. Also new is the console which looks like the color is too light in the pics but in real life it matches pretty well.

Looking good. I had a hard time with my pillar moulding. It just doesn't want to fit like I want it too. So, for the time being I am living with it.
Your amp, is it just setting there or did you screw it down? That looks like a good location to me. I have been trying to come up with a good place for mine.

The amp is, INDEED! screwed down and that's the permanent location. My wife is short so there's no problem w/the right side seat being up a couple of clicks from the far back position.
Stereo is a Pioneer SuperTuner III 50Wx4 with a single CD player built in. The 500 Watt amp gets plenty of cool air there - don't have to worry about it getting hot. I have Pioneer 4" speakers in the dash, and 6x9's in the far rear corners - in the space behind the wheel wells. We get plenty of tunes even with the T-Tops off going down the freeway (at the legal speed limit of course!)

That looks very nice. The seats and carpet look great.

Paul,
How did you secure your carpet on the panel behind the seats? I am also doing this and when I fold it back over the panel I can't see how to get it to stay there. Will spray adhesive hold that bend or is yours tucked under the front of the storage compartment trim? By the way, yours is looking good.

After I start driving it again and things loosen up we'll see about the need to glue the carpet down. I'm still fussin' with that console to make it move forward enough to get the car into PARK. It just doesn't fit right even after moving the dash up and forward as far as it will go.
The original console is broken on both sides (it lays flat on the garage floor) so I'm bound and determined to make this new one fit right!
