I got my CTR carpet installed but then I ran into some problems. I dont know whether or not I was supposed to take out the reinforcement bar if thats what it is. Here are the pics

We couldnt get it to fit perfect so we kinda figured maybe thats the problem


Took it off and bam the carpet went in..BUT


Theres a gap now. Is that suppoed to be like that after installing the carpet?

 

I'd like to see an answer to this question too.

 

no...do you think civic type r's had a gap like that from the factory?...what you should do if you wanna keep it in there go to wal-mart or a fabrics place and get some carpet that matches that color and fill it in where the gap is....you'll prob be the only person tp know its there like that...nobody would notice that little bit if you add in carpet where its missing...especially at that little portion of the car

 

i had to add carpet in the gap between the upper and lower part of the back seat when i installed my gsr leather seats in my eg....looks good

 

thanks for the advice....

 

I don't have any input, but I'd like to say that red carpet on black interior looks wicked bro.

Was talking about the rear.

 

that's definately not right.. looks like you got the carpet from a different model than you have. I would just look for fabric that is the same color and fill in the gaps..

what car do you have?

Looks like a 96-00 civic.

 

Looks to be a 96-00 hatch based on the rear seats which look like ctr's.

 

that dont look right

my bro have red ctr carpet in his 96 hatch. fits perfect no gaps at all

 

damn thats a bitch, I wouldn't even mess with the carpetry myself esp. when I'm putting a nice CTR carpet in my car, I'd let the pros do the work. Those seam remover used on regular household carpet will come in handy if you fill in that gap with additional fabric.

 

The CTR carpet is made for a 96-00 Civic hatchback. I am assuming your installing it on your 96-00 coupe. The reason is that im looking at my plastics and they look very different in the front near the door.

that's what i thought.. which is why i asked him what kind of car he has. i figured it was a coupe, cuz the CTR only comes in hatch form.. making the carpet not fit..

That cant be right. What kind of idiot would think a Hatch carpet would fit in a coupe?

 

i believe that kid1320 installer ctr carpet in his SI. maby PM him. but dont quote me on that

 

1. hatches and coupes are extremely similar, identical from the rear seats forward.

2. you need to put that reinforcement bar back in there. you just killed a lot of your chassis' ridgity.

 

PLz post some more pics and if anyone has a write up post it also. Id like to do this to my 99 coupe. Not to hijack your thread but how much does CTR carpet run? Also is there cheaper knock off versionss?

 

Usually around $150 -$200 or so for the carpet

 

i installed a ctr carpet in my 96 coupe with no problems or gaps anywhere

 

I would prolly just pull the carpet back and spray some primer back there. Black that ish out.

me too fit just fine

 

It seems from your first pic, this is just a guess I don't own a 96-00 civic. But, can't you take off the plastics, and somehow put the carpet over the reinforcement bar (glue it, double sided tape) then put the plastics back on?

 

the car i have is a 98 hatchback. dont know why it doesnt fit correctly.When the reinforcement bar was in, we could put the middle on, but the sides wouldnt fit right in.So we decided maybe if we take the reinforcement bar, it would fit, and it did. But now theres a gap. Is the reinforcement bar really neccessary for my car? and I bought it off of Bodykits NW, a well known H-T seller for 200 shipped.

oh yeah i need to get rid of those grey seats, i know i know....
