I'm looking to replace the worn carpet in my '95 Civic hatch. I wanted to go with a Honda one, but wow, over $300 seems like too much to me. I'd prefer to protect it with some OEM floormats and go with a non-Honda carpet.


Anyone buy a carpet from a certain manufacturer that has some feedback on it?


Personally I know there's a Newark company I used a while back for another car, and that brand I won't go with again, other than that, I have no idea.

C'mon I know someone out there has replaced there carpet with a new one!

I've heard of people buying this stuff...But I can't say anything about the quality..Definitely worth checking out, I suppose.

Supposedly anything other than OEM doesn't fit right from what I have heard from many members. Do you have any friends that work at Honda that can get you a discount?

Danronian

Can't say I do... That would be helpful though.

Before I got into the Honda tuning I restored my first car from the ground-up. I know there are reputable carpet manufacturers out there since a lot of people restore cars and most of their carpets look like they fit well even without being custom-created. It's probably a given it won't fit perfect, but extra padding and some glue can help a LOT. Considering how much road noise the car has now, I wouldn't mind adding some padding this time anyhow.

If I don't get any solid feedback on here I'll probably go with the cheapest "form/press molded" carpet I can get, made by a brand I've heard of. What I won't buy again is a seam-sewn fitted carpet. They are junk and the seams fall apart...

Yeah, someone has to have some experience with aftermarket carpet...I would like to know as well.

i've heard that the stockinteriors.com carpet is nice but it requires some trimming to fit perfectly. however, this is to be expected with any carpet you buy unless it's OEM.

stockinterior.com just dropped right in.

good to hear... i want to buy new carpet soon but what i heard kinda made me not want to because i'm kinda lazy when it comes to trimming stuff to fit. lol

did it have the holes for the round carpet plastic clips? was it already ready for you to install the door sills?

You should check with the dealer about the OEM carpet. When I went locally they told me carpets for EGs were discontinued and no dealers had any old stock that they could find in the system. I ended up getting a used black carpet for $75 from someone on a forum. Shampooed it nice with the Bissel cleaner and it's good as new.

Danronian

Thanks for the useful input.

Stockinteriors, which sent me an AutoCustomCarpets box actually (same company?), fit fine in 96 Civic EX. I didn't even have to trim the edges, just cut some holes and stuffed carpet under panels.

All I've ever heard is good things about stockinteriors.com. I think I'm going to try the out myself.

Danronian

Nice to hear a consensus.

Now I just need to decide on a brand of sound deadener... the road-noise of the VX is something I can't live with any longer...

Quiet car solution, look it up. Amazing stuff

All the comments about stockinteriors.com were about fitment. What about quality of carpet?

Danronian

I second that.

id also like to know as well as i plan on replacing my carpet on my coupe soon

I'm alright with the quality. It's not amazingly plush but looks like it'll be difficult to damage. Ask them to send you some samples (for color verification). It took a bit of effort with a razor just to open holes for the seats and such, ripping won't be a concern. Installation, however, needs to be done carefully. I screwed mine up a little and have a visible gash in the centre console driver leg area.

Does it feel/look like OEM quality? Or does it seem cheap like AstroTurf or something?

good info. my 96 coupe is leaking from the sunroof and the carpet smells like crap. im def. going to look into stockinteriors.com

Bump, here's some pics of it: http://wtf132.wtfserve.net/~dave/acc/ pardon that my floor is otherwise nasty as hell, I've been doing a lot lately since I just got a new d16y7. :S


Seems to feel just like stock carpet, probably same material. I have no complaints other than I over trimmed by my shifter.
