Carpet Kits

Automotive carpet kits consist of interior floor coverings that are either molded or precisely cut and sewn to fit over the contours of the floor pan. They are typically made from different types of fibers woven together using varying techniques.

The carpet is what keeps you from stepping on a bare metal floor pan. At the same time, the density of its foam backing doubles as a sound and heat barrier for your interiors. It should be replaced once it's old, dirty, worn out, or faded.

Your vehicle’s carpet should ideally last up to 10 years. However, depending on the weather or road conditions in your area, it may wear out faster than its intended service life. Stains and foul odors that stick to your carpet, even after a thorough cleaning, are also telltale signs that you need a replacement.

Other than keeping your interior looking clean and neat, a well-maintained carpet can also protect your vehicle’s resale value, as it leaves a positive impression on interested buyers.

Switching out old carpets for new ones can instantly make a pre-owned vehicle look and feel brand new. Replacing the carpets on your project car is a nice way to restore its original look. You can also take this opportunity to switch to a color or material that suits your personality and lifestyle better.

Carpet replacement is often perceived as a DIY-friendly task because it only requires a few tools and a couple of hours (usually two to four) to install. Carpet replacement kits usually cost $200 to $500, depending on your vehicle’s make and model. Prices also vary based on the type of carpet you’re planning to buy.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when shopping for a carpet kit for your vehicle.

Material

Carpet manufacturers use a wide range of materials for different designs. Common materials used include nylon pile, nylon loop, dyna pile, nylon dense pile, 80/20 loop, tuxedo loop, gros point, daytona loop, trinidad, and PG blend. Each material has varying pile heights, densities, loop curls, and foam backings.

Foam Backing Type

Automotive carpets come with either a poly backing or mass backing. Poly backing is made from low-cost polyethylene material, which requires the installation of additional heat and sound insulator underneath the carpet. Meanwhile, mass backing is heat bonded to the back of the carpet. This type provides better sound protection and heat insulation compared to standard carpet backing.

Price and Quality

While there are tons of low-cost carpets available in the market, you shouldn’t cut back on quality. Consider getting a carpet from a brand you trust to ensure you’re getting a replacement that’s built to last.
