:evil: I've seen sets on Ebay for like 200 bucks, I don't want to spend that much to feel like I'm flash.

Anyone had any experience hunting down replacement vinyl carpet cuz mine is all ripped and like sleeve of wizard.

and also. those annoying little black plastic things at the bottom of the B pillar.

who has had experience in shaving them so they look like the B pilla just goes straight up from the body.

the reason I ask is because my fibreglass canopy uses that black thing as a secret doorway to let water into the cab

I was just gonna get a panel beater to weld it up, what do you think ?

Queensland moulded car carpets or QMCC can be ordered through super cheap but yeah, costs about $200 or so.

Another option is go to capet place and get a couple of meters of that black plush suitable for cars.... Or fake turf ;)

The crap thing with that is you will have to cut here and there for it mould over the trans tunnel. It's do able but a bit dodgy.

Exactly what buzzy said, i reckon at the end of the day with all the fucking around, $200 isnt that bad for pre moulded stuff.

Of do it the lazy way like i did and just take it out and put some floor mats in :lol:

No one runs carpet anymore. Like speedo's, working lights and blinker fluid it's all for weight reduction.

Hey, re did mine just the other day. It had vinyl but I went to the local carpet shop and found some suitable stuff, they didn't have anything in black all I could find was blue marine carpet for boats, but it was nice and thin and did the job nicely.

Yes, to get it to mold over the gear box some cuts where required, and I fucked mine up a bit and it is a bit dodgy, but I think if you planned it out better it could work out pretty good

Cost me $60, I can post up pics tomorrow if you want :)
