Getting ready to put the interior back in and need some new carpet. Can anyone recommend which one I should purchase? Looking for black, or the charcoal color. I see a lot of carpet
kits out there (mostly on Evilbay).

Also, after removing the tar and rust, I metal readied and applied the por-15 stuff.
I'm concerned about having a lot of road noise now that the tar is gone. The aftermarket adhesive pads for sound deadening are really expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions for a cheaper alternative? Is something to deaden the sounds necessary with the carpet in there?

regarding sound deadening - A guy on ebay (rubbermann7@msn.com) offered that his 3/16 neoprene 60 shore would do the trick, I haven't tried yet, but seems like an easy way. it comes in 4 by 2 sheets or he could cut to other lengths. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
