Tru fit carpet ranges from $100 to $150 I think depending on how plush you want it. Apparently its not much of a true fit tho!

I've been told theres not many places that do carpet moulds but if you find a place that does a good job let me know as I'm after black carpet for my EB.

I had knox carpet for the XD, the front was a perfect fit, but the rear part was huge, and its thick stuff too, so have a sharp blade in your stanley knife...

Yeah fairly sure they do, But you cant really see the join anyway, mine is under the seat/console, it makes it easier when you have to cut the seat holes, and the shifter holes...
I only went 2 piece because that was already wrapped up in the boot...

:
And it is about 400 times easier to cut from the bottom than the top...

Yeah but you can see the join near the doors and I'd rather not have it there if possible! I've sent them an e-mail so I'll see what they say.

Ahhh ok, i can only see about 20mm of it on each side, but its like hemmed (i think thats the word?) so its the same colour as the carpet, just looped over, looks neat as though...

DEVL-XR · 15-04-2007, 11:50 PM

Yeah I know what you mean. If I have to I'll put up with the join but hopefully I can score a one piece carpet!

True, The good thing is heaps of colours are available... Just dont get white, a mate has it... dodgy stuff...
It makes the interior look heaps cleaner aswell..

DEVL-XR · 16-04-2007, 09:10 AM

Na the carpet will defiantly be black! I'll see how we go.

nos_james · 17-04-2007, 07:09 PM
