my 95 cd7 has a pretty bad carpet by my standards and i am considering just tossing the carpet altogether.

anyone have pics? coupe or sedans without carpet? thanks

 

I can tell you after running my car last summer for a week with out the carpet it is not fun. Every single grain of sand sounds like a bolder hitting the underside of your car. The carpet is not just for aesthetic purposes. It helps keep the sound out and without it every part of your interior trim will rattle against the steel with every bump.

Not to mention once you remove the carpet there is a fire proof liner that comes down the firewall to the floor. There is also the heater air ducting that runs down the sides of the center tunnel.

I'm not sure what your standards are for bad carpet, post a pic. In my opinion no carpet would be a bad standard.

 

i have drove my car now for 2 years without carpet. it is the most anooying thing in the world. i can't even talk on the cell phone in my car do to all the noise.

 

wow.. Based on these responses, I'd keep my carpet if I were you.

 

well thanks for the replies!!

butu back to the original question - anyone have pics?

 

Sorry This is the best I have. I'm not going to put half my interior back in without the carpet for the sake of an internet thread. But I think you should be able to get the vibe of how ghetto your car would look without carpet from these.

dont ITRs have fixed heat rest?

 

These seats are out of a USDM DC2 ITR. The JDM ITR's have a fixed headrest style seat. aka Recaro's.

 

Firewall gets really warm too, I couldn't stand it after a week. I wasn't able to wait to get it back from being cleaned

 

OK! how about different color carpet pics just for the hell of it! accords only!!!

trying to get a different idea now. cashmere silver metallic(light gold) with tan leather(its a factory ex) but maybe with a different color carpet.

 

I think you should be able to find places to do different carpet for you if you do not like the material of the carpet in the Accord. If its just a color change, I think places can dye it as well.

 

well i love the color of my car and interior but that tan carpet gets dirty way too easy. so i want to change it this month. i am just exploring options from my fellow ht'ers. i will post pics of my car by the weekend so you guys can honestly tell me what u think.

 

I ahve pictures of my hatch with no carpet in my build thread..check the sig..

thanks. although now i have changed my mind in taking my carpet out or changing it. i went to the junkyard last week for a part and found tan mats for my accord in awesome shape. oem honda mats with the accord emblem!!!
4mats for a dollar a piece!!!!! FTW!!!!!!!

 

Yeah, that's a good deal.

 

i just ordered some replacement carpet so i will let you know what it looks like when i get it installed. That could be another option for you.

 

its a street vehicle not a race car
