I am going to carpet the back pad area and I am looking for a local store to buy the carpet. Does any one know of a store that sells carpet that would be suitable for this? Perferably on the peninsula.
I know that morph sells a carpet kit, but he wants $80 and I am looking for a more budget minded solution. I will use his kit if I can't find anything else.

Also any tip on the installation process would be helpful. I would like to avoid using adhesive on the factory sound pad.

Black22, do you have any pictures of your install? What did you do for the light?

I am putting Miata seats in the car and they dont fit well with the stock back pad. I've got the seat sitting fairly low with custom mounts (feels almost stock height), so to finish the project I need to carpet.

I'll check out kragen and walmart and see what they have.

No pics yet. Not done installing the aluminum trim. I eliminated the light and purchased a map light that works from the cigarette lighter on an adjustable gooseneck. I'm not sure if I'll install the light later or sell it (it has the chrome surround). I only get to work on my car one day a week. Work and other projects to juggle. I'll post a whole thread on my rebuild soon that way you guys can see It start to finish.

Not sure how you could not install without adhesive on the sound pad though.
