sub box carpet... match my interior? [UPDATE]

[user1101]

I'm recarpeting my sub boxes. My old gray carpeting = old and busted. New matching interior carpet = new hotness.

So.... Does anyone know a Brand/Color that matches the OEM carpeting for a '95 camaro interior with tan leather? My carpet is beige.

Maybe it's one of these Stinger carpets? There's so many flavors of beige! Any suggestions?

So your interior is this color, right?

Looks like the closest is Med. Parchement. But even that looks a little dark.

You could just try ripping all the carpet off and and lay some fiberglass resin over the top then have it painted and cleared to match your car. That's what I'm doing to mine (ALOT of sanding involved with this).

That's clever how you managed to not help me at all, make an outlandish suggestion, and change the subject to your car... all in one sentence. It's a safe bet that I'm not going to be taking any styling advice from someone with altezza's in the back. You're way too old to still think that looks good.

Thanks 96firebird311. I went 0 for 5 at the local stereo shops. I'm going to take a chance with mail order.

Don't do that. Trust me, you'll order something you "think" is the right color and it won't be. I have done it before myself. It is impossible to match real colors to pictures on the internet. If nothing else, you can get some carpet off me. I carry a charcoal gray carpet that matches most f-body trunkliners perfectly. And you can see some of it in action here http://www.subthump.com/acamaro.htm

I can vouch for Steve he knows what hes talkin about when it comes to boxes and carpet. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

If my boxes sat in the trunk well, then you'd have a sale megabass. But they sit up on the rear seat deck. That's why I said I wanted to pull the old gray stuff out replace it with OEM-like carpeting.

I had one box done last year with carpeting that was a near-perfect match to the OEM:



But the shop that sold me the carpet has dried up. I'm sure I can find it if I'm patient.

Why dont you just take the carpet from your old box to an upholstery store and find carpet that matches?

I have some tan carpet that looks very close to that. I could send you a sample.

i'm reviving a dead thread here. I was asking about finding some OEM carpeting. (Thanks for the help steve, it wasn't quite right) It took me two months to find, but I finally found a supplier. My boxes are finally wrapped, and I've got the "as close to stock as you can get with 2 twelves on your deck" look wrapped up now. Those are a pair of ED's hiding behind the stinger grills.



Not flashy enough for you? That's exactly the point. :cool:

[megabass]

Looks good. Do tell where you got it from:)
