so my carpet has seen the last of its days. i was wondering if anyone has taken out all of their carpet and done something simlar to a powercoating job to the floor? you see it in heavy duty trucks alot so the crew can jsut spray out the cab to clean it. i'm open to any other alternatives, i just don't wanna buy more carpet.

yeah im actually doing a similar thing im doing a roll on bed liner (same thing just uses a paint roller to apply) to coat the car from where my rear seats were back. i would do spray on but im too cheap right now. i'm only spending money on stuff that makes me go fast and turn better

Actually "Felt" is a great alternative. LOL. Seriously. I went down to a fabrick store. Yah, kinda gay, and spent $25 on black felt and spray adhisive. I think it looks badass. Felt is virtually weightless, looks stock and contours to every crevice in to rear of the car. Especially works well for the ugly area where the backseat was after removal. HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS.

Roll on bedliner on the floor/ sides and felt up top may not be a bad set of options. The bedliner would only add minimal weight and would give some sound control and the felt would give the look and feel of a headliner and the right adhesive would keep it up there and looking good.

Upload them to our gallery.

As a NICO user, you have unlimited picture storage space, although you may have to resize them if they're huge.

PICS!

By now, the felt would have worn through, anyplace a shoe had been on it.
