whos got marine carpet in there sierra??

i am getting mine fitted throughout the entire interior, 12mm medium density yoga matting is going down for the base and then marine carpet on top. been quoted $500!!!!!! to do the inside of a sierra.....do yas reckon thats a lil pricey? but that $500 is to door the whole floor front and back and up the sides aswell including the tray.



post some pics if you got any??

yups

mine was a lot cheaper thou (bout $50)

i have the usual marine carpet on the floor wells and also a piece in the back. wash out when dirty.

i dont have anything underneath the carpet also. 12mm is a fair chunk of matting.

on the sides i have custom speaker pods in mdf so only done on the floor and not over the wheel wells

haha yeah $35 per 2m x 1m of marine carpet and $79 for 2m x 1m of yoga matting (softer feel and water proof) all from clarks rubber.

i figured i could do the floor but i wont be able to do the curved bits like over the gearbox, rear wheel arches ect

that'd drop the price, then all they gota do is the curend bits i didnt do.

its really nice lookin marine carpet too!! i want to make the entire interior washout'able so i'll be putting in new drain holes with plugs, and cover up the electricals. might fab some 2mm alloy plate to cover under the dash.


anyone else done this to there sierra?

hey i done my marine carpet with a heat gun just be gentle it than follows curves come up good

hmmm i guess thats how they would do it at an auto-upholstery place???

i thought of that but thought id F it up lol was it easy? got any pics?

Personally i wouldn't worry about carpet unless its a street only car.

4WDing usually involved mud, dirt, stones, seeds, sticks, sand etc etc getting inside your car. Carpet catches this stuff, let alone the fact that it holds water which will then build up moisture and begin to rust.

Stone guard can be bought at most auto body shops along with the spray nozzle. When applied it looks just like rhino lining and is so easy to clean out.

Web wheeling is clean.
