Ordering Carpet

[xCraZyEddiEx]

after doing some research i found a website that sells auto carpet at a pretty decent price, 14.95 a yard to be exact!!! well, long story short i ordered 3 yards of it and i will let you guys know how it turns out. The carpet (called superflex carpet) is 100% Polypropylene Pile Carpet with no rubber backing but is supposed to be stronger than oem. (note it comes 80 inches wide)

btw, the website is yourautotrim.com

and after looking for a online coupon code i found one for 15% off

so with ground shipping the whole carpet will cost 52 bucks, better than toyota's price of 300+

there is a luxury style carpet available as well but i wanted something stock looking and will lay better.

wait...so you're buying a plain piece of unmoulded carpet and are going to cut it to Celica specs how exactly...?

maybe he's going to put his old carpet over the new 1 he ordered, and cut it from there to make it the same exact shape.

^ exact-0. also i heard that if you get a soldering iron you can clean up the edges by melting them so bolts or whatever wont be a problem later on. yes the plan is to trace the old carpet.

Wow - this is now a major project...good luck with that.

I considered every alternative when recently replacing my carpet, but finally decided that the value of my time dictated that I just buy OEM ($400) and have it installed professionally ($75). Voila!

Not sure how well it will conform to all the shapes. You will most likely have alot of wrinkles/folds unless you cut the carpet at every little corner.

guys i understand the cynical comments but trying something different and DIY is what this website is all about, right?

To all the cynics,
does this look molded or contoured? apology to lowred for using pic for example but...

yes, that is molded. its heat pressed in a mold to form it into the shape of the car.
