all aftermarket carpet fits like **** from ACC and other companies as well. I would just search and find some mint carpet in the classifieds section. They all say "fits just like OEM" but that is bullshit. and I wouldn't mind spending 300 from the factory for some brand new carpet, but most of it is discontinued

your choice though, may people will tell you to stay away from aftermarket carpet.

dude, any interior shop will professionally install an aftermarket carpet for like 200 TOTAL, just spend the extra 50 and have it done professionally and it will look 1000000x better then anything you can do yourself. Even if the aftermarket carpet is a horrible fit, pros can make it fit like OEM.

.02 cents

if your friends are professional interior installers, then why not ask them what carpet to get?

I did a new carpet from ACC in my pimped out 93 Saturn SW2. The install was hella difficult, and I ran outta patience and kinda botched it. But if you take your time, you can make it look really really good!!! Even my botched install looked very good with everything installed.

While youre in there take all your sound deadening off and check for rust

But I was looking at replacing my carpet and if it's tough and I've never done it before i'll just take it to a shop then...
