I got a 96 Civic. Its got the ugly light gray carpets. And the previous owneer got either oil or coffee stains everywhere.... So, depending on how much it would cost at honda, im thinking about re carpeting it Black myself. or getting a generic black carpet..has anyone recarpeted before? i tried searching but maybe i could get some help posting a fresh one. thanks in advance.

there ya go, cheaper than honda, easier than dye and it fits well, my buddys carpet was burned, stained, and shaggy, took it out, ordered some from these people, and it fit really well, and the carpet is as close to factory as u can get with out getting factory, -shrug just my 2 cents
i always wanted to buy carpet from the same sell on ebay but was worried that it wouldnt fit and would be a bad material.. but you say its good quality and fits?

i called honda and it was 650 for a new carpet. thats crazy. even 150 for that egay one was too steep for me. imma try to clean and dye mine. if not, theres a guy w a "darker shade" of gray that hes willing to sell me.

does anyone know if honda changed the 96 light gray carpet to a possibly darker gray for the 99-00???

head liner as well??? his headliner looked very darker than mine.
