I've been searching the boards for a step-by-step guide on how to take out and install new carpet in the Celi but can't find anything. I hear it's pretty easy but I've never done anything to the interior of my car other than clean it, and I don't trust myself not to mess it up. So can anyone help me out and let me know which order to pull stuff out and if there is anything I should look out for when doing it?
It'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Well personally, I've never done it, but it cannot be very hard. What I'd do is take out the seats first, and then see how much of the center console (from the storage compartment to the shifter) has to be taken out. If I recall, the carpet can be removed from the foot wells pretty easily.

you might as well take out the center console, its not hard to do, and you have to get it right, otherwise it will annoy you

Removing the carpet in not hard at all. Remove seats, Remove center console (as part of the carpet is "whole" and I cut mine, you never see it anyhow), remove dead pedal, then remove carpet, you may have to also remove the kick panels or just work around it. Same with the door sills. Installing it is pretty much the reverse of removing.

You can get a roll of "car carpet" in the color of your choice, brand new at a flooring store or carpet store for like 20 bucks a roll.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

I had a buddy who ordered some new carpet for his car that was cut and formed for his car specifically, when they packed it up to ship they either rolled it up or they folded it and it didn't fit right, I'll take my chances with the junkyard!!!!
