2Dr carpeting

Hello all...Im looking to redo all the carpeting in my 2 door and came across this. Anyone have any experience with these guys?

http://www.auto-interior.com/_crpt/9...er2dr_comp.htm

If not, any other ideas of where I could find a replacement. I must admit I know nothing about carpeting, so does having a molded set make it that much better than just having it reupholstered by a car upholstery shop?

I don't have any input on the site you posted but I was going to replace mine a couple of years back. I ended up trying to clean it out with a carpet cleaner and had no luck. I then decided to try the steam pressure washer at my work and it worked wonders. It took off all of the grease and dirt stains. 2 years later my carpet still looks brand new. Instead of wasting your money you might want to try that first.

I steamed it clean and ran the carpet cleaner after that to give it a nice fresh smell.

Thats a great suggestion...unfortunately its not that the carpet is dirty, its just worn out. The footwells are basically bare and the cargo area has no carpeting at all.

Any thoughts on the molded versus non molded carpeting then?

I used that sites kit on my pickup and it fit great. If you do it yourself, I would highly recommend the molded because it comes custom fit to the contours of your cab. This way you can basically gut your whole interior, slap the carpet kit down, cut around the edges, cut out the holes for bolts, and reinstall the interior. Just take your time and it will come out great. Quality product and fit! Great prices too. Took me a full day to dynamat and replace the carpet... not bad...

Sounds good! Which of the two kits did you get, the regular one or the one with extra insulation? Im wondering if the extra thick one will create fit problems.
