Can some place like this do carpet for a car? Im afraid my 88 verts has had it since its last encounter with the rain and im looking at my options for replacing it. If anyone knows the details on getting this stuff done let me know. I just want something that will have a stock look and fit.

they actually sell kits for any color carpet you want online, just do a search........ i remember when i was looking around for carpet for my car, all that anyone said to me was a carpet kit is not available after 1993..... so that means they have it for your car

I dont know of any vert carpet kits.



Carpets can take a good soaking, I wouldnt worry about it too much.

The problem is its become discolored and nasty looking i had the same problem with the passenger side when it did this. I havent found anything that can get it out. Do you know of any good cleaners or something i could use?

you can actually achieve decent results if you:



clean the carpet with a good degreaser, then clean it

with some CLR- calcium lime, rust remover- the **** stinks

so be carefull.



then when its dry you can touch the carpet up with carpet dye

works pretty good and your total cash outlay will be like $5-$10
