I was wondering if anyone has change there carpet in the 05+ Stang? I just got Black carpet to replace my Grey carpet and I am not sure what kind of project is ahead of me?

A very big one. Both front seats, the rear seats, center console all have to be removed. Then, you will have to pull the carpet up with some force since it is glued down. Replace the padding if it is ruined (100% chance it is).

After that, lay in the carpet, but make sure you use spray adhesive to keep it down. Line up all the doo -dads and replace the interior.

All done... Good luck!!!

Yeah I was thinking it was going to be a PITA but I cant stand the Grey carpet and It will be gone before long. Taking all the seats out is easy but Im sure the console will suck.

Once you go black.........






You will be vacuuming all the time!!!

What?? Did you think I was gonna say something else?

LOL.. I have a nice Hoover garage vac with 30' of hose so I am not too worried about cleaning it and I had black carpet in my truck and I liked it more than my Grey.

Wicked is exxxxxxxxxxxxxxtrememly true about always having to vacuum It looks sweet when its all cleaned up, but the second you get in the car w/ anything on your shoes it shows.....But its well worth it. Maybe post up some pics and a write up for the whole process if you have the chance as well. Im sure there is someone out there that would not mind seeing what it takes.

yea i hate it, once u get it, u have to clean it again. i dont know the name of the interior color i want, but on other cars its called peanut butter. its like a light tan. its pretty sweet. but idk the costs of redoing the entire interior

I put my carpet in and it took me about 2 hours by myself. Not bad at all. I will post pics soon I have to go eat!

Good job man!!! I am getting that carpet plastic wrap, kind of like saran wrap. I am going to wrap my mats in them after cleaning.

And with the top down, all sorts of crap finds it's way in.
