Carpeting is one of the most overlooked aspects of your automobile. Few parts can directly affect how comfortable and happy you are with the interior of your vehicle. A bad carpet can ruin your car or trucks overall appearance, reduce its worth, and stress you out while driving.

What colors are available for my vehicle?
Depending on the material you can have a carpet made in any color. The carpets are made to order so any color of carpet can be put into the proper mold and a new carpet is made. Even if we have to have your carpet custom made it will still be shipped out within three days of your order. Custom colors are not returnable. All returnable carpets may be subject to a 15% restock fee.

Do you make carpets in custom colors?
Yes, generally there is an extra cost. If you want a Black carpet for your Honda, we can do it, if you want a purple carpet for your Chevy, we can do it, if you want a White (yes even White) carpet for your BMW, we can do it. We can have just about any carpet made in any color. Custom colors are not returnable and we require a credit card number and complete vehicle information before the carpet is shipped. There is 50% surcharge to make a white carpet. This covers the special manufacturing processes in order to keep the carpet clean.

How do you know what color is correct for my vehicle?
The colors we list on the website are GOOD matches but we can not guarantee they EXACTLY match. Vehicles made in different factories or even different periods of the year can have different shades of carpet (see example below). If you are concerned about an EXACT match, please request samples by email or by calling toll free 888-844-3393 or 978-433-3393.
We had made it a practice to collect color samples to insure matching. Our thought was that as we collect a sample, we can record a match and have a definite color on file, therefore the next customer will not need to send a sample. We actually got three grey samples for 86 Mustang carpet. All three greys were a shade or two different and all three were made of different material.

What if the colors you have do not match my carpet sample well?
We will send you at least three color samples that are similar and let you decide. If you do not like any of the colors then we do not expect you to buy the carpet. WE DO NOT WANT TO SELL ANYTHING THAT YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY WITH.

How can I be sure the carpet will fit my vehicle?
This is very simple. Our manufacturer actually uses an original vehicle. The interior is stripped from the vehicle. An actual impression of the floor is made. The mold for the carpet is made from that impression. This insures proper fit.

What specifications will you need?
Color - The colors listed on the web page are good matches to original shades. If you choose a color from a drop down menu then the carpet is returnable (a 15% re-stock fee will apply). We are happy to send samples if you would like to confirm a shade or see a color not listed on the website. If a color is ordered that is not listed in a drop down menu that carpet will not be returnable.
Vehicle Information - Year, Make, Model, Body Style (2 or 4 door, sedan, hardtop, hatchback, reg cab, ext cab etc.).
Transmission type and shifter location - This is required because different floor pans or different sheet metal housings are used depending on where and how the shifter is located.
TWO or FOUR wheel drive - Required for trucks and SUVs. If your online order does not contain all the specifications we need, we will try to identify the problem and contact you.

What comes in a carpet kit?
This depends on each carpet kit. In general our kits will include the same items as an original carpet set. Below are basic types of kits and what they may include:
Passenger Set: This will include any carpet under the feet of front and rear passenger areas.
Cargo Set: In many Sports cars and SUVs there is an extended area that is finished in the same carpet material as the passenger carpet. In some sets wheel well covers or tailgate carpet may be included. Please call toll free 888-844-3393 for specific details.
Complete Set: Includes all carpet related items available. This does not include floor mats.
This IS NOT an all inclusive list. The Carpet Kit contents for your specific vehicle may be different.

Does the carpet have insulation attached to it?
Yes, The carpets have a jute style insulation attached in the same general areas as original. We recommend that you retain your old insulation if possible. The insulation on the new carpet can be thinner. Using both the old and the new will give you more sound and heat dampening. If your old insulation is ruined, you may want to consider putting down an additional layer as well as sound deadener.
return to top
Does the carpet have a rubber back to it?
Most of our regular priced carpets come with a poly (translucent) back. If your car originally had a black rubber back and you want to duplicate that backing then you need a MASS BACKED carpet. Some newer applications come with the Mass Back standard, that will be noted in the item title. If you want the extra sound and weather damping effect of Mass Back on any other Cutpile carpet it can be applied for an additional cost. When mass back is applied most carpets must then ship UPS DOUBLE OVERSIZE so shipping will increase also. Many Mass Backed carpets cannot be shipped outside the 48 states.
return to top
How long does it take to receive my new carpet?
The carpets are made to order which takes 2-3 business days after the order is placed and confirmed. The carpets then ship by UPS. If you are in the 48 states you will receive a tracking number from UPS when the carpet ships out. After the carpet ships it could be 2-6 business days to get to your door. The total time will be 4-9 business days depending on where in the 48 states you live. If you live outside the 48 states it could be 2-6 weeks.

What is the return policy on carpets?
Carpets made in original colors (color is listed in drop menu of item) are eligible for return up to 1 Year after order date. Carpets may not be cut, altered or glued in any way. Please inspect your carpet when you receive it. A 15% restocking fee will apply.
Carpets made in a color not listed on our web page are not returnable.

What happens if the carpet does not fit?
Hopefully this will not happen but accidents can happen that cause you to either get the wrong carpet or a poor fitting carpet. In the event that the carpet does not fit we will take care of it. A call tag will be issued, the carpet is picked up and either fixed or a replacement is sent.

How are the floor mats constructed?
The floor mats are manufactured using the same pattern as the original manufacturer used. This result is a shape that fits. The mats are made of the same high quality carpet as our carpet sets. They have a cleated rubber backing and they are bound around the edges with vinyl. If you are ordering a carpet set and floor mats together they are made form the same color for a perfect match unless otherwise specified. If you just want to order a set of mats we usually have colors on file that will roughly match your interior. If you want an exact match we recommend calling or emailing us for samples. If you would like a logo embroidered on your mats we have a variety to choose from.

Will I have to cut the carpet out?
Cutting will be required. For standard carpets a good pair of scissors will cut the carpet and insulation if necessary. If you are ordering a Mass Back carpet, a very good pair of scissors and/or a sharp utility knife are more appropriate. The carpets come pre-cut to the shape of the floor pan. The manufacturer does leave extra material. We would rather you have to cut a little more than have a carpet that does not cover well. The carpets do not come cut out for shifters, high beam switches, seat bases etc. This allows for aftermarket and custom parts if desired. In some cases the listing will specify with console or with cut outs, in these instances the carpet has been cut to accommodate original equipment.

My shifter (or other item) sticks up so I can't lay the carpet down to make sure it fits before I cut it, what do I do?
DO NOT CUT A HOLE FIRST. Lay the carpet in the vehicle starting in an unobstructed area. 'Roll' the carpet up to the base of the shifter or item. Make a SMALL SLIT in the carpet where it hits the item then install the carpet. It is much easier to hide a slit in a carpet if you make a mistake than it is to hide a big hole. The carpet should go in and the item/shifter goes through the slit so the carpet will lay down. Continue to ONLY slit the carpet around the item or shifter so you can move it in to it's final position. Only once you are sure you have the ENTIRE carpet where you want it then make a cut out for the item/shifter. ALWAYS start small. You'll be much happier in the end if you have to enlarge the hole 2 or 3 times then if make a mistake and have to cover a big hole. If you happen to make a slit in the wrong place you can either duct tape the back of the carpet or use heavy thread and needle to sew the slit.

Additional installation tips:
If your carpet is not already cut out after removing the seats, seat belts and other items; replace the hardware, screws, bolts etc. so that when you lay the carpet in the vehicle, you can easily locate them under the carpet. This way you will be able to make accurate slits in the carpet to ease reinstallation of these items.

Extra insulation: We personally like to put in a layer of insulation when we install a carpet. It further reduces wind noise and gives the vehicle a 'tighter' feel. The problem is that the carpet is molded using only the insulation attached. When extra insulation is added it slightly changes the dimensions of the floor pan. We suggest patience when installing and 'working' the carpet more to make sure no wrinkles develop. When you reinstall items they may push down on the carpet and cause bunching or wrinkling. We re-installed the items loosely first let them sit a few days, then tightened them half way, let them sit again then tighten all the way. This gave the carpet time to conform. We did not use the vehicle until all seats and seatbelts were fully tightened.

After install, make sure all your seats, seat belts, consoles, and other mounted accessories are secure.

What materials are available?
Nylon Cutpile- This material is similar to what is found in most domestic vehicles from 1974 to present. In some cases its pile height (thickness) is not as high as OEM. This is also the style that most pre 1990 Import carpets are made up in. Cutpile can be specified for just about any carpet (call for details). View Colors
80/20 Rayon/Nylon Blend Loop- This material is an excellent reproduction of the material used in most Domestic Vehicles from the 50's up through 1973. View Colors
Trinadad- Trinadad was used in the late 50's and early 60's in select vehicles. This is actually the 80/20 Loop carpet with silver mylar thread woven through it. Trinadad is only available where specified.
Tuxedo is an interesting carpet made by mixing your choice of select 80/20 Loop colors with black loop for a speckled effect. This carpet is found in some late 50's and early 60's GM vehicles.
Nylon Loop is found in some late 60's and early early 70's Mustangs and other Fords. It is similar to the 80/20 Loop but the absence of Rayon gives it less sheen.
Truvette is an exact reproduction of the soft low pile carpet found in mid 80's and early 90's Corvettes.
Daytona is an exact reproduction of the tight woven material found in mid to late 50 High end GM models like Corvette, Bonneville, and Belair.
