My factory carpet is looking shabby. Id like to replace it with black instead of the easily-dirtied light grey. Any suggestions?
Use the factory black carpet for a Cadillac Fleetwood (the Roadmaster carpet is the same as the Caprice). This stuff is MUCH higher quality than the Chevy/Buick carpet, plus only the Fleetwood had black available. It is fully complete with insulation and sound deadener, more than what comes on the stock carpet. The pile is much denser and slightly longer than the stock Impala carpet as well. The Fleetwood has a 6″ longer wheelbase, so the carpet will have to be trimmed somewhere during the install. You can either slice it across between the B-pillars under the seats and overlap, or possibly trim the rear section only. The floorpans are basically the same except for the 6″ in length, so other than some minor trimming, it should work fine. The Black Fleetwood carpet is available under part number 10276338 and costs around $370 list, $263.12 wholesale complete. You can also add the nice black Fleetwood floormats: 12370406, Mat pkg front, $36.23 and 12370406, Mat pkg rear, 20.80.
