1g replacement carpet, any bought it yet ?

[ShadeTreeDSM]

saw some here

Carpet - 1A Auto

but doesnt list for 1990. 1990-1994 should have all the same carpeting right ? looking to get it in black

Yep, I have. Shipping was great but came rolled up and was a PITA to get to sit flat. Save your old carpet and lay it down over the new carpet. Trust me this will make things A LOT easier.


Some quick pictures: Electronics are a lot cleaner now btw.

I always put the carpet in the sun for about 2 hours and it lays flat with no problems.

Let's hope the parking brake got adjusted.

It got adjusted to the up position while I parked.....?

Nice laptop mount. Does it just slide out?

Defiant is talking about how high the brake handle is. Mine only goes like half that high.

I don't know if your against ebay or not but there is a vendor on there with a 90-05 eclipse carpet (thats if the carpet size has never changed which seems fishy) in 20 sum different colors including several neon ones for $114 BIN plus $14.95 s&h. The item number is 300258542770. I never bought this item but I came across when searching for other parts.

Yea it's two keyboard tray sliders, plexiglass and mounts. It snaps into place so it's not all sliding back and forth while driving. Once I get my interior complete I'll make a write up.

Please do. Send me a pm with the link if you remember.

I have one in my car. Make sure you order samples, the online color sample suck monkey turds. It fits resonably well. It will probably take you a day to get it installed

I got a replacement for my 2G. Does putting it in the sun sireously make it sit flat??

 

[DSM_Zak]

Need to do this as well.

That laptop mount looks awsome!

I wanted to configure one in the glove box as well, only allowing the glovebox face to still be there to be able to hige the laptop.

Pretty clean!

the non necessary stuff is not there so i dont know if you guys want to see it i mean i am thinking about putting my dash back in but i dont know

Thanks, it looks better now that there are no wires hanging down. It's very tight on both the sides and under the dash. Depending on what size computer you have it would probably be very tough to integrate the glove box in there.

Looks like I'll have to take some pics earlier then expected.

Does heating it sireously make it sit flat?

 

[aaronspeed]

Yes it does make it lay flat and it is even what they say to do in the directions. I even use a steam or heat gun when I install carpet in the winter months.

So would a basic hair dryer be hot enough or should I try the heat gun method? I'm just afraid of melting it.
