Re: replacing carpets in 87 (freakd)
It really isn't that bad! I replaced my carpet and seats in my 1990 a couple years ago. Just make sure you buy it precut for your year vette. It will need a little trimming in areas but overall not a tough job. Just make sure you buy a good heat resistant/retardant padding when you decide to do the job! They sell it pretty cheap in JC Whitney. Also buy a good spray glue, I used 3M carpet glue from home depot. Also if you want to spend a little more money you can put a layer of sound obsorbing material down under the padding. :cheers:

I just did new carpet. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=759707
I took my time and cleaned all trim pieces as I took them off. Took me about 1 1/2 days to complete. I bought the mass backed carpet that was pre-cut to fit and needed very little trimming...
Best of luck to you... :thumbs:
