custom floor mats...

[dadirtybulldog]

sup e'erbody.... for those that don't know, i work at carpet one.... currently i am making custom floor mats... many of you has seen my interior, my mats are gonna be blue and black, blue for the main body with a black olds symbol inserted... they will be ready soon and at that time i will upload pictures... the carpet i'm using offers many colors and is thicker than our stock mats, although much better quality and they will also have solid back attached... i'm making four, two front ones and two back ones.... i was wondering if i offered this to everyone, how many would be interested??? let me know :thumbsup:

[justinusaf]

Im in as long as it stays reasonable.

[misslindseysue]

Totally depends on price.

[blueyezalero]

I'd like some too

[dadirtybulldog]

here's my rough draft...

[dadirtybulldog]

here's the carpet...

[`2000redalero]

Price?

[Voodosoup]

I might be interested depending on price.

How will the edges of the mats be finished?

[dadirtybulldog]

here's the edges, bound with 1" fabric binding to match....

[dadirtybulldog]

don't know yet

[dadirtybulldog]

here's a lesser quality carpet- bad colors though...

[dadirtybulldog]

the cheaper carpet carries NO stain protection... so keep that in mind.... i recommend something that has stain treatment built-in.... stain protection will make them easier to clean and last longer... the carpet carries a ten year wear warranty and a seven year soil and stain warranty... although warranties will be voided because of what we're using the carpet for, i wanted to let you know the warranties so people would see this is a qaulity commercial grade carpet.....

[dadirtybulldog]

i can also have mats made however you want them, any size, any shape, any color, logos, embroidery, etc...send me a pic with some info and i'll get you a price...

[kwhauck]

price, price, price, oh yeah and quality, but you said the carpet was good commercial quality, so price...... :D

[Oldsmopimp]

i could use new floor mats....I'd most likly be in that group buy

[dadirtybulldog]

price is looking to be somewhere around $75-$100 for all four..

[dadirtybulldog]

here's pics... remember they still have to be bound around the edges....opinions please??? ;)

They look good in your car, but I'm not sure if I like the fuzzy look.

[ptrudel]

as soon as u start usin 'em a bit the fuzzyness will be gone...they'll prolly look pretty close to stock ones...if u tell me u can ship to canada, have 'em in black with green emblems, i'm in :thumbsup:

[dadirtybulldog]

just to let everyone know, i'm making these myself, a set will take two days to complete... a set of four will be $90, just front two $70, just back two $50, any color combination.... as far as the fuzzy look goes, i haven't had a chance to trim and shave the mats, once that's done, i'll vacuum them, that will take car of the fuzzy look.... i put them in my car to show the appearance of 'em... keep in mind these will have binding on them which will give it that finished look, and also these were my preliminary ones and i think they turned great, ones to follow will only look better.... order now, this is no group buy... email me w/ questions... dadirtybulldog@yahoo.com .... thanks and enjoy, chad

[dadirtybulldog]

shipping is paid by the buyer... i'll ship them where ever you want them to go :thumbsup: ... each set weighs 4lbs-5lbs...

[ptrudel]

are you using the better of both carpets u showed us?

[dadirtybulldog]

absolutely, no skimping on any alero.... it turns out with myself doing all the work, i can charge a cheaper price, i was afraid they were gonna be around $125, but i did work similar to this alot, so i said what the hell let me try.... and again they turned out great.... if you like you could research the carpet quality at carpetone.com.... or better yet i'll get a spec sheet on it and i'll post it....

[dadirtybulldog]

oh yeah, the carpet is... Marshton by Shaw Co.

[ptrudel]

put me down for some :thumbsup:

[dadirtybulldog]

you got it :thumbsup: ... black w/ green emblems :thumbsup:

[deadpedestrian]

Will this be open for a while? Don't have the money now but definately looks like something I would like to do

[dadirtybulldog]

yes, this offer will be good for a while.. months at least.... according on how many people are interested.... i'm currently experimenting with other desings..... example-----> the bottom of the mats shaped as flames.... ;)

[deadpedestrian]

cool looking forward to it, problem is I have no interior mods yet and I need to decide what color scheme to go with my black alero with that beige and grey trim color :P

[ptrudel]

i think the ones u did the first time look awesome..that's how i want mine done for sure

[dadirtybulldog]

here's a new design i'm working on...

[ptrudel]

nice...not exactly what most ppl will be lookin for tho..but nice

original design MUCH better lookin tho

[dadirtybulldog]

i've finally decided on a firm price..... $90 for a set of four(w/ logos on all four)....

[vulgar]

I will be interested in this when I get back from vacation in june if you will still be doing this...

[3.4Alero]

[dadirtybulldog]

[ptrudel]

[dadirtybulldog]

[ptrudel]

:thumbsup:

[dadirtybulldog]

[dadirtybulldog]

[dadirtybulldog]

[ptrudel]

from the pics u been posting, i ain't worried about how they'll look...i know u'll do a great job...as for waiting, i'm a pretty patient guy...can't wait to see pics, that's for sure :thumbsup:

[99Olds]

hey they look great. Who did them for you? or did you do it yourself?

[ptrudel]

he custom makes them...he's sellin them if u read the beginning of the thread...

[dadirtybulldog]

i'll try to get you some by tomorrow night.... patience is a virtue... :thumbsup:

[ptrudel]

yes it is...but when waiting for somethin that looks this good it makes it harder

[dadirtybulldog]

pat, here's yours, almost ready (sorry about the pic, it sucks)....

[dadirtybulldog]

and here's a close-up... these still need to be cleaned up and bound with the green binding... too tired tonight to finish... but still on schedule.. ;) :thumbsup:

[ptrudel]

NICE!!gonna look so much better then the poopty rubber ones i've got in now :thumbsup:

[ptrudel]

any updates man?

[dadirtybulldog]

finally!.... here are a set of completed mats.... these are for pat in ontario.... enjoy! :thumbsup:

[dadirtybulldog]

:thumbsup:

[dadirtybulldog]

...

[dadirtybulldog]

here's a good pic of the edging... it's machine sewed :thumbsup:

[dadirtybulldog]

.... and for the guy who was looking for some for a friends cavy... the bowtie is no prob, the orange carpet is... the best i could do is a vivid red... sorry

[dadirtybulldog]

oh yeah.... FYI.... i am now going to be offering these for a couple of months ( instead of indefinately like i was going to do) and that's it... if you want them order now...

[Steve03TropicTeal]

is there ribbed backing or no

[dadirtybulldog]

sorry, but no... i had a clear ribbed rubber backing attached, but the machine was unable to sew through the carpet and the backing, so i had to do away with the backing, i'm still brainstorming ideas for "thinner" type of protective backing, right now they only have some heat-bonded tape on the back... these mats aren't for those who put their car through hell, these are show mats.. they still stay put in the car floorboard...

[Steve03TropicTeal]

they look awesome, didnt mean to pit them down or anything.

but my stock ones dont even stay put they way i use 'em

look badass tho

[mdodge]

I might be interested in a set maybe gray with blue olds symbol and blue trim? Will you still be making them around mid june. Can't afford to right now but your doing a great job on them and would love to have a set!

[dadirtybulldog]

will definately still be doing them through june and more than likely july ;) :thumbsup: ... thanx for the comments, much appreciated they are :thumbsup:

[mdodge]

awesome!! I'll pm you when I ready. Thanks.

[dadirtybulldog]

no prob... just remember to choose the carpet colors from the first carpet sample board i posted... the one called marshton

[ptrudel]

dude!!! hell yeah man....those look awesome!!! u did a great job on 'em for sure...now i can't wait to have 'em sittin in my car

thanks a bunch for makin these for me man :thumbsup:
