Default Carpet

Any one know who actually stocks carpet sets for our cars? I'm not wanting to wait 2 weeks for it to ship.

ACC Carpets - usually have in stock black/red . You should ask the guys at CORVETTE AMERICA . It seems that they have a direct line with ACC.

Bought my ACC black carpet from Vette Works International for my 88. Plan on spending several weekends putting it in unless you are retired. Console, door sills, and knee sections take the longest to install.

I installed the front carpet in my 85 (including kneepads, w/o door sills) in 1,5 days. In the same time also soundproofed the front.
The most annoying part to install was passenger side knee section because I had the breadbox in my way...
Carpet is ok quality wise and needs a little bit of trimming when put in . I took the mass back option.

Did some of the same things here. Bought this insulation from Lowe's for around $100.










I replaced my bread box back in the 90's with an aftermarket pouch panel. Hard to see because everything is Black now.



Had to buy a stapler for the door carpet.
Worst part of the interior restoration was paying close to $300 for the 3 plastic trim pieces in the cargo bay. Re-moding your interior makes your old C4 new again. Great project. I spent Dec. 13 to Feb. 14 weekends doing the carpet. Extra for me there were new seats and foam and repainting the steering wheel and door panels. I finely figured out how to correctly attach the door sill carpet on the second door, my door.
