I'm looking to switch the color on my interior floor carpet to black to match the headliner and door panels
(http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18696&stc=1&d=1235316740)
Anybody have any recommendations on what to use???
Amazingly, I have seen pretty decent results with Krylon spray bombs.
It stiffens the fabric for a while when it is first done, but it softens up after a while .
No painting. The carpet I have is original andhas had it's fair share of stains to include gear oil in the back -- lots of it. It took quite a bit of work to remove the smell a few years back and it never quite came back to the original color.
I can assume carpet cut for a fox Mustang will not fit correctly in an 87 Cougar, correct?
If it will that's great, but it never seems to be that easy for us....
mustang carpet wont fit .
I think I saw NEW carpet on Evil Bay for around $100
look here

Nice find ;)
If there's one website I suck at finding stuff on, it's ebay.
Paul, I came across this place the other day.

Here is another one I have had my eye on in Burlington, NC...

Birds and Cats have a longer wheelbase therefore the carpet extends more to the back.
No worries there is plenty of availability for replacement carpet from the two links we suggested above. I plan to use one of them when I am ready to purchase...
Weird......plenty of carpet and dashboard choices and jack poop for headlights.....
Are you getting some of this Paul? I've been strongly considering it, as my carpet is not so great anymore, I was just a little concerned about the cut and the texture. If you get/got it let us know how it comes out:D
I ordered the Ultra plush cut with the mass backing in black from stockinteriors.com
I'm waiting on delivery. I'll let you know how it looks.
Wow. Ultra plush! Goin for the shaggin waggin? haha, jk, cant wait to see it!
The going is slow.....The car is basically a shell with drivetrain right now.....I should take it to the track and see what time I can rip off with all the body and interior parts removed :hick:
...even if you have to trailer it up there;)
