I don't have any experience personally with them. But I have heard that most aftermarket carpets for our cars don't fit correctly.Originally Posted by RedLedbetter
I would suggest contacting Ed Morad and see what he charges for a good used carpet of the color you need.

im looking for a different color than what comes stock

ACC or auto custom carpet has the best. Google them. Just did a friends 2004 with bright red carpet, I think it only cost him $170. Stay away from the cheaper companies.

I just went to the store and bought some interior fabric paint and did mine black. It looks really good. A lot better than I thought it would. It only took about two cans of it. I had a spare carpet available so I figured I would give it a try. The cans were about 6 or 7 dollars a piece. I'm not really sure how other colors would work though. Oh and by the way, I had to clean the carpet really well beforehand. I just took a power washer to it and let it dry in the sun. I'm sure other colors (depending on what you are going for) should work just as well but I'm not making any guarantees. I think it was made by Dupli-Color. Not really sure though. I know it was a popular brand of some sort.

The friend we just put the red carpet in tried spraying his carpet black, after awhile the dye/paint will wear. I guess it doesn't hurt to reapply every now and then.

I have purchased from stockinteriors.com. I cannot comment on their quality for the Grand Prix platform, but I can say I did it my old Avenger. It comes pre molded, no holes for seats, seat belts, console...... anything etc. Best bet is to un roll it, leave it in the sun to flatten out. Pull out the old carpet, set the old carpet in the new carpet and cut the new one leaving at LEAST a good inch OVER lapping while using the old carpet as a big stencil. MAKE SURE you take any clips, retainers etc off the old carpet and staple it, glue it whatever onto the new carpet. I failed to do this in my Avenger and was constantly having to tuck it back in under the molding (then again I did NOT leave an extra inch, causing it to be short). Also I would highly recommend getting some jute padding for carpeting and cut it in the shape of the floor pans and spray glue in or just set it in. These aftermarket auto carpets from ANY mfg are not perfect so expect them to be a little off. So by raising the height of the carpet using jute padding it will help the wrinkling, folding, waviness of the aftermarket's mold. Also the jute padding will help with sound deadening.
Hope I gave a little insight amidst my rambling.

However here's how it can make a big difference for an otherwise awful ugly interior.
and after
and just to whore up your thread some....I do miss the dodge monstrosity.

stockinteriors.com sucks!!! I had ordered black carpet from them for my 2 door and it came out horrible. First off it does not matter whether you have a four door or two door they give you the same carpet. It was not pre-molded. It came in a box and was in a cylinder shape. pre-molded carpet refer to is the general shape of the "tranny tunnel". That was pretty much all. The carpet felt really cheap and the under padding was only under certain areas. Most of the time where you don't need it and not there where you do need it. After spending $150 Im ready to just fork out even more cash for a real stock interior carpet.
