I'm assuming carpet replacement is fairly simple and straight forward right?

Well, I got water up to the carpet level yesterday (doh) so the floorboard is pretty much soaked. I'm wondering if I can remove the carpet (cause I can smell the stagnant water) and replace it a little later down the road. What do you guys think?

Also, where can I get new carpet thats the same color as my old carpet?

Hey guys, reviving old thread here for some questions.

Basically, I've been researching a new carpet(s) for the whole car. Am I paying to much if I buy this from rockauto? It seems like a decent deal and I'm having a hard time finding an equivalent set on ebay...

i replaced the interior carpet in my '88 4runner... but, only for the passenger area.

so, front and rear seats.

i did not replace the carpet in the cargo area.

unfortunately, i do not recall where i got it!

i did a google search and found a place called stockinteriors.com.

take a look there and compare.

good luck.

Thanks Joel, I took a look at the website. Their nice stock formed ones would be to expensive, but they do look good.

They also sell by the yard, that's always an option.

To share my findings thus far.

I looked around the net for molded, by the yard, un-molded pre-cut and used OEM for carpet and even Vinyl. I don't like the experience with the noise from those who have installed vinyl, but there is an option that comes with matt backing for sound & heat insulation.

The best deal I found so far is E & C JR Upholstery in Burbank CA. I spoke with him for an estimate. For re-upholstering the front two seats, and all of the carpet (I think 7 pieces?) he asked for $500. That seams like what I would pay in materials alone if the carpet kit is around $250 and the fabric for seats about $150. Not to mention I don't know what to do with the seats. lol.

I told him I think the price is fair, and when I come down I will take a look at the material quality and make a decision.

He seems to have great reviews on Yelp.

I'll keep ya'll posted. If any other ideas, please speak!

Yes, I have definitely looked at this site. The one I would be interested is $290, with the matt backing. So, I think i'm still better off with the upholsterer.

I assume you had to do the cutting for the center console, etc...?
