I have a deal going with a carpet manufacturer to produce some carpets for the 93-01 Impreza's...

These will be available in dozens of different colors and are going to be a giant leap in quality compared to stock carpeting.

My fear as with everyone else is the fitment.I know previous group buys for carpet have left people with a bad taste in their mouth, so I asked for one to be sent to me, If all is good and the fitment is as promised I was curious if anyone would be interested.

Pricing will fall in the 200 shipped range and delivery is within 2 weeks of GB close. (new OEM carpet is over 250 from the dealer)


Let me know....

i would be interested...

Dang, so only me and Basshead hate the crappy OEM carpet...

interested pending pics, reviews and what not...

Considering I have a nice hole in my carpet from my heel (no mat for about a week)... I would be interested.... stock color (isn't it black) for me though....

Yeah, stock carpet in the impreza really does sux. I would be interested if you could get one for the 95-99 legacy, which is about two inches longer.
Brent

Hmm is it possile to have it in a different color besides black?

Its available in all kinds of colors, so yes. Any color. If it looks good and I go thru with the GB then I will post all the info.

will these carpets be easy to install and easier to vacuum?....the stock carpets are a pain to vacuum because it gets all fuzzy when you do it to much....thanks nino

Thats where my carpet comes in...I will find out when it gets here.

*raises hand*

Someone read my mind! :D

How about something for the 2004 cars? Mine has 1500 miles and already shows wear. Crappy factory carpet.

*raises hand again*

Two fo' me. :D

I am interested

OK, folks.

Mine should be here tomm. I will try it out and get some pics if its good.:D

ya pics!!...hope they are a nice thick pile carpet, i'm so sick of this stock crap.....i might need some new floor mats too nino!..;)

I am very interested in this. I would like it in black.

Here are some things I would like to know.

Does the new carpet have the mounting tabs and things for stock attachment? This was an issue in the last carpet GB. It was a pita to install.

Will the carpet be one piece or several. I am pretty sure the OEM carpet is one piece, but that would require removing all of your interior:center console, seats, etc. I would be happy if it was one piece.

Can we get heel protectors added to the carpet; ie a patch or double layer of carpet where the throttle foot heel rests? This is where most carpet wears.

Is the carpet a name brand, ie can we go look at color swatches anywhere.

I think thats it.

Thanks for doing this anyway.

And you didn't ban them from your car? :confused:

A little off topic, but I would be interested in upgraded carpet for a 2002 WRX.

Tom

yea my carpet is messed up pretty good...

same as the floor mats.. =(

lol...:lol:....i did....both were casued by one of my ex's...:furious:

jourdan

OK, I got it today and the carpet itself is great.Nice thick pile.

I haven't went for install yet because I was busy trying to get the car started first, I will attepmt the install this weekend.It looks to be molded pretty good, but I cant be sure till I install it. I did notice that none of the cutoputs are there though. So It will need some trimming and cutting to fit.

nino , install it and let me know how it goes out, i headed the other groupbuy before but after a few install reviews i decided not to purchase , and if you could get back to me on that other pm i gave you that would be great ..thanks nino

i am also interested in 2002 version.

I'm ready to purchase immediatly if it fits. I HATE MY CARPET :furious: :furious:

I'll try to get it in today.

Take your time, my soul brotha! :D

So if this is a good fit and all, I'd like it in the same color as the new sti carpet.

I don't think people are reading this thread correctly...

This possible group buy is for carpet for a GC model (see pre-2002 in the US) Impreza.... I don't think the carpets are the same for the new model.

I think we post-2002 owners are hoping that there is enough interest to get a 2003 buy going ... :)

Let me make sure the GC one is good, and then we will move on the GD. :)

I'd be in, if the fitment is good.

Interested.

Interested...

i want it now! everytime people get in my back seats the carpet comes out from under the back seats. its so annoying and frustrating.

Sorry, I haven't had time to install it.I keep having other issues with the car that are taking priority.

no problem dude. it's been frustrating for so long and now that there might actually be a solution, i'm quite interested. good luck with your car.

bump :banana:

I'd definitely buy some black carpet.

hope this goes through...:banana:

If the car ran well enough I could transfer my efforts to the interior, but priority is still running right.Sorry for the delay.

If someone wants to come over and install it while Im working on the engine I wont protest it though. :p

Hmm... let me see what's going on this weekend. :D

i'm up for one. Is there gonna be any price breaks if we reach a certain number? :D

Any new updates? Right at the moment i'm willing to be the guinee pig though i'm a good distance away. :(

get that thing running yet Nino?..;)

Bow chica wow wow! :lol:

*COUGH* :o :D

jc whitney's carpet suck....


i seen it in a rabbit before... just so you know.. i think i can do a better job with carpet purchased from homedepot.

Maybe he got stuck in Vegas.... fell into some trap with some whores... being tempted... can't put the dice down.... where is he? :D

*sigh* :(

Sorry guys. :(

I'll get to it...So far all I was able to do was lay it in the car and the molded sections seem to be correect but I have to trim and cut it for fitment and just haven't had the time.

I'm interested!

Chad

Has this carpet been installed yet Nino?

still have money in my wallet that needs a home at nino's for this carpet...;)

desperately need a new carpet and mats after this winter!

I killed this idea...The carpet needs alot of trimming..Fitas great after your done, but the amout of work involved is insane, plus its too easy to screw up and if you do its ruined...

DOH! :(:(:(

damn...:(

Would you be willing to do this with a different suplier. I think a lot of people really wanted this group by to go through. Maybe you could check out these guys http://www.acsdorsettcarpet.com/. It looks like they have quality capret and a wide assortment of colors, but i don't know how much they cost. The carpet is molded and looks like it doesn't need any trimming. I don't know if this is even an option for you but i thought i would give it a try.
thanks
jayce

Thats the carpet angry Opie was speking of ...I can get a deal on that if you guys want it..But the last GB on something like that had some upset buyers...

Similar situation though, No patience or skill and any non-oem carpet will install like a POS

how much and what does it take to get it installed, just some trimming?

never mind i just saw on the first post $200 shipped does this include the neon colors

I bought that aftermarket carpet that needed serious trimming, and i do agree that it needs serious mods to make it fit. However, if you take everthing out, pretty much follow what was slit/cut for the stock carpet, you are well on your way to a beautiful interior. The real problems came with leaving enough for the back seat area to go under the seat, trimming the corners, which i did not do, and the door sill area for the front doors. If you have a day and a half, and take your time using the daylight, this may be the project for you! Best of luck, i'm going to in the future buy another kit and spend some serious time and effort with it, make sure to get the thickest option available and a nice exacto knife! Vacuuming it is a dream compared to the stocker!

Amen. If anyone comes out with a high quality aftermarket carpet that's pre-trimmed and has ALL the holes, plugs, attachments, etc, etc, it's worth more like $500 for all the time you'll save.

I did the first GB for RS carpet. Took a full day of careful templating, cutting, trimming, etc. and it is still only a satisfactory install. Life's too short...

anyone check out accmats.com

http://www.stockinteriors.com/Item.asp?Itemid=3958&MakeId=26&ModelId=401

that site sure makes it sound like they will fit right!!..not willing to risk the money though

I hope somebody gets it together to make a quality replacement for my 2002 wagon's carpet. I've seen better quality carpet in a dollhouse. I agree that it it has zero durability, it moves around like a hooker on a submarine, it's hard to clean, it's ugly, and other than that it rocks! I'd definitely pay decent money to replace it with something of quality.

To call it "*****ty" is an insult to *****.

Pay $600 for a nice leather interior but look down and realize you're still standing on a pile of holey garbage. Depressing.

With any luck, the SAAB 9-2 carpet will be quality, right color and right fit. I'm waiting for one to hit a dealer so I can check it out.
