I have a 2000 ej8 with the dark gray interior, I think Honda calls it "classy gray".

I picked up a set of these from a RSX

I'm going to replace my carpet but I can't decide if I want to go back O.E. or razz it up a little and put red carpet in. I ordered a couple of samples of reds.

Any thoughts?

 

I light the darkest one

 

I like that one too. I'm just having a hard time deciding if I want to get red or stay with black carpet.

 

i like the oem black one.

 

i love the idea of having red carpet. but as much as i've wanted to get it it's keepin it clean that worries me. i've seen countless cars with red carpet that's been trashed. i'd stick with the black

 

My Opinion ... the darkest red if u gonna go red if not stay black

 

My opinion....Red. The one in the middle.

 

I think the black carpet is best.. But if you like to make it Red, i choose the average red (that one in the bottom)

 

The samples top to bottom are: Red, Bright Red, JDM Type R red. Anybody ever get replacement carpet from stockinteriors.com? $129 for for molded carpet seems reasonable.

 

stockinteriors.com is not oem quality not even close

 

Never ordered anything from them before or heard good or bad till now. I don't expect to get oem quality for $129 but I do expect to get decent carpet that fits. If their stuff is junk I'd like to know before I order and have to send it back. Did you you get some crap from them?

 

im thinking of getting a new carpet but i was also thinking of painting it all black dont know what imma do .. any good place with oem carpet???

 

Majestic Honda if you want authentic Honda

 

the carpets claim oem fit but fitment sucks it dosent even look good when installed

 

OEM fitment isnt the greatest the way they roll it up and fold it making creases to fit it in the box, you'll have to do some trimming and cole cutting where the seat mounts go and the middle consol will need to be cut out a bit. BUT i'd go with the type r red, i did, i wish i had pictures to show for, but i dont, but in my EP3 i do have the type r red from stock interiors for my floor mats, and its HELLA easier to vacuum than the stock carpet


everything was cut to size, its hard to fit it with the creases but what you do is you rent a steam cleaner, steam it before you intall it(work out the creses kinda like ironing clothes) then once its all put in steam it after you position it to mould it the way you have it.

 

Unless you plan to make it some blinged out low rider then no.

 

the darest red or oem color...
also try to stay with oem its always going to fit the best,
maybe even a ctr carpet?

 

oem carpet

 

ctr carpet is moulded for a RHD car and wont work unless you find a LHD UK type r
so if you go that route, make sure you remember to buy the LHD one
