Carpet my Cobra

[Leeroy]

I am about to start to carpet the interior this weekend and have no idea at all how to start. I once carpeted my ski boat but it was just flat sides & bottoms and I even made it look ok! So I was wondering if anyone had some good tips, ideas on how to make it look like I didn't do it. I am using a non backed type which the wholesaler said would be easiest as it will stretch a bit. So please you thoughts would be appreciated.

Leeroy,

If the budget allows go for leather!

I re-upholstered mine for about $1,000 including piled carpet floor mats.

Basically I replaced the el cheapo carpet (the office type that frays, bobbles and sticks to your feet) with leather.

Passenger side is all leather and driver's side is leather for two thirds of the footwell. Remaining is piled carpet.

Stuck heat matting under all leather (mainly to stop the heat transmitting through) as in summer my legs would end up sweating!

Pretty cool now - looks good too. See my gallery (New Gauges pic)
