Black Carpet Recommendations

[Justin]

Looking for a link to some quality black carpet for the interior along with about how much it will take to do the whole interior of my GTD. Thanks everyone.

I used stuff from here. It’s basically a flexible durable carpet, called ozite. What I really wanted to get a hold of is whatever BMW uses, their carpet is really nice and cleans well.

Kyle,
How do you like the ozite? Any idea on about how much I need to purchase?

 

[Matt]

Suggest you make some paper patterns of all the parts. Nest them on say 1200wide strip to determine total length needed.

Most trim suppliers will send you small samples of the carpets that they stock, usually without charge.

Regards,

I have no knowledge of the amount of carpet necessary to do the inside of a GT 40, but my background was 43 years in the carpet industry. Ozite was known for manufacturing indoor/outdoor carpet. It was low/flat and tightly constructed, so it was durable, and dirt would not get buried in a deep knap. It was also manufactured in 6 ft. and 12 ft. rolls, versus the industry standard of 12 ft. only. If you are looking for something of a higher quality, richer look, you’ll probably want to investigate woven wool carpets. A woven (Wilton) velvet or tight loop is probably what’s used in luxury sports cars and sedans like Rolls Royce, Bentleys, etc., most of these are made in Europe or Australia where the wool is less expensive, so they are manufactured in 4 meter wide (13’2” rolls) versus American 12’0” wide rolls.
