Getting ready to swap out carpet..where to get?
Looking to swap the carpet in my 92 B4C and wondered where everyone is getting their new carpet from. I see tons of people selling, but I am looking for the thicker stuff or mass backing I believe they call it.
Can anyone speak as to where they got theirs and what they thought of it?
Thanks
Tom

Re: Getting ready to swap out carpet..where to get?
Hi there,
I tried the ACC carpet from Rock Auto, seemed a pretty good price. I got the standard type (NOT mass-backing) and laid it over the original carpet. I had to trim off the jute padding under the driver's footwell, because it was too thick to fit under the gas pedal.
I liked the non-padded carpet better, it seems to conform more easily to the shape of the footwells. However, if you are removing the original carpet, you might want the mass backing.

In a sense, yes. It has a thick rubber coating on the back, which acts similarly to the ACC mass backing.
