Need carpet

[mjb765]

I am taking the seats out to install a hidden stereo and since I went that far I want to take the carpet out to install sound deadener mats and since it doesn't fit great now, why put it back. Who makes the best fitting molded carpet for the 70 Cuda?

[Cuda Cody]

Carpet is fairly inexpensive and since you have the seats out it's a great idea to replace it.  I really like ACC and I get it from @MoparDave

  from their website....

I appreciate the opinion...but I have one question. His carpet is $100 more than the "genuine Mopar restoration" version on the Jims website. Is there a reason that you know of? Just wondering if there really is that much of a difference??  I am more than willing to pay the extra $100 if it is better--not a problem, just wondering.  Unless that's just MSRP???

Pretty sure they are the same supplier.  When I look at the price they are both within $5 ($169.95 to $174.95) and I know @MoparDave  give us a great deal so it's going to be less from him for sure.  Send him and PM and he'll get you a quote.     Just let him know you're with the E-Bodies.org group if you call him so he knows to give you the discount.

RockAuto--$173 with Mass backing...I will wait for Dave's price and order


Do you think an additional sound deadener with the Mass backing is needed? I guess it can't hurt.....

Thanks for the Rockauto discount reminder....

As for the sound deadener....I figured as much and that's how this whole thing started--me just wanting to do the sound deadener under the carpet...then the carpet....now maybe inside the doors.....the project snowball is in full effect.....guess I will order 2 packs of the fatmat sheets for a total of 72ft since I don't think I am going to mess with the headliner to do the roof, but I did like the idea of the wheel wells and package tray.

The very BEST fitting carpet is sold by ECS Automotive but it isn't cheap. I think it's close to $500. The difference is that the ECS carpet is never folded and stuffed in a box for shipping. It's shipped flat so the carpet keeps its molded shape. The extra cost is the special handling and shipping process. I believe the carpet is still made by ACC.

At the very least, you should order carpet right before you need to install it. Right after receiving it, you should remove it from the box and lay it out. That way there is less chance it can lose its shape. Even then, there is no guarantee that the carpet is brand new. It could have been in the box for months/years.

Only you can decide which way is best.

$379 on the site.....but that is going to be one BIG A** box!!!!!

You guys using 80mil or 50mil sound deadener?
