Carpet restoration Kit????

[Brian 944]

Is anybody else having any trouble finding a carpet kit??

I have found a few places that offer the carpet molds for the floor, but none include the carpet for the sides of the center console and the rectangular piece around the shift boot. Also the the little carpet pieces on the doors.

I called Porsche and they said they could get all the pieces for $3000!!!!!!

Anybody have any Ideas for getting a COMPLETE kit for an 84 944????

thanks,

what colour are you looking for?

i am getting rid of the carpets in my 924 and i am getting a new set for my 944. i can tell you what i have found. the 924 ones are in great shape, i'll basically give them away.

im looking for tan....
i have dark brown now...but i wanted to change to a tan carpet..i thought the two-tone color would give it a nice custom look

i will dump a brick if you have tan...i have been looking for at least a year now for a full kit

I contacted the company list by lordgrommit about 2 months ago and they sent me a detailed brochure of available carpet for the 924/944/968. You can buy OEM type separate pieces (even the door pieces) or a molded piece. Even have imported type carpet or domestic type. I intent on purchasing the OEM, imported carpet. I believe is is around $500-600.

Brian, I recently purchased a black carpet kit for my 85.5 944. It is brand new. All pieces, molded, everything. Final price was $190.00 after shipping. I bought it off of Ebay. You might want to look there. Or I can give you the e-mail address of the guy who sold me it. He owns a company which sells carpet kits.

my 924 interior is tan. hey, you want the seats too? they are 911SC seats in tan leatherette. the interior is in great condition, just ask anyone that's been in it. i even got 3rd in a concours.

why am i getting rid of it? racing interior going in.

how's this work for you... i can start taking the carpets out when i get good weather breaks up here. i will carefully remove them, and then box them up for you. it's either you claim it or i throw it all out (and i'd really rather NOT do that).

my other option was to dye it black and use it in my 944 (which NEEDS some new carpets).

all i'd ask for is the money for shipping and handling, and a few $$ to compensate for my time in gutting the car and carefully wrapping the carpets for you. don't worry, it'll only be a few bucks. i'll even try to fluff up the carpet fibers a bit.

cool?

everyone bookmark/copy down this info. i dug it up in my notes when i was considering restoring the 924 interior to concours level (before i decided to race it):

Original Fit Interiors
209.852.9084
924/944 carpet kit (domestic): $235.00 new

Classic German Interiors

remember i am not gutting my interior until the temperature gets above 40 degrees at LEAST (it's freaking COLD out here in NY state!!!) so if you can't wsit for me then try the above places.

obin robinson, you said in one of your replies that you might have dyed you carpet black. Have you ever done this? I have tried but have not found any products that work on auto carpet. I have a very nice tan carpet set from my 944 (except for fading and some stains) that I wanted to dye. Any ideas??
