Factory Carpet Replacement
Anyone know a company or site that sells factory carpet replacements (or just replacements, any color) for a 96-98 EX Civic? Been looking around and can't seem to find any.... Thanks.

just make sure you oreder one that is molded for your car with a rubberized backing. A lot of places sell carpets that aren't necessarily universal and are specific to makes and models but they are not molded and are crap. If you get an aftermarket one that is molded with the rubberized backing then you should be fine because they'll pop right in.
A long long time ago on my first car ( a cavalier ) I had to replace the carpet because it was in bad shape and moldy from a leaky heater... anyhow I ordered this piece of garbage that was specific to my car but wasn't molded. It came in a roll and was cut to the shape and size of my cab but I had to cut out the holes for certain things like the shifter and e brake etc... within a year it looked like garbage too.

AMEN on the rubberized backing. Just be sure that you take EVERYTHING out of your car that's bolted to the floor. That will make is SO much easier to install. Also, you might want to think about spraying some sound deadening compound on the body while you're in there.

I went a step further and cleaned it up real good because it was like a sand box under the carpet... by the time I was done cleaning, it looked like it just rolled off the assembly line.
The floor already has a sound buffering material that is a lot like that dynamat stuff that all the bass heads use with their monster audio setups so there really isn't a need to spray it with anything unless you just want to add more weight to your car.... I know it's not much but every ounce counts
