carpet replacement mass or no mass?

saleener94 · May 8, 2009

What do you guys prefer when it comes to regular ACC carpet or mass backing carpet? Non mass is $119 and mass jute is $169. I know that mass back helps with noise but who doesn't like to hear their stang?Sometimes its good to hear some noises to pin point a problem. I was really leaning towards the mass back because I thought it was some how better than regular. But the way layoffs are going I think I should just get something cheap while I still have a job. Will I be missing out on quality if i go non mass back? Thanks guys

good info. I also read that with mass back carpet some panels like door sills are extremely tight and in some cases might not clip on right

Mass

I just did mine a few weeks ago. I peeled the backing off of the old carpet in some places and added it to the mass back I was installing. Such as under the drivers and passenger floor board. The new stuff is very thin in most places, not even near as thick as the oem carpet.

Are we speaking of the same carpet?? Mine was exactly the same thick-ness of oem. .. 5.0 resto.

do you guys use some kind of adhesive when installing the carpet or just lay it over the floor?

No glue, you will need to cut out holes. At least when I did mines a few years ago I had to do some cutting. Quite frankly I did a hack job (summer in south Fl so I rushed it) and ended up picking up a mint condition piece out of a cobra. Lesson to be learned, take your time and do it right or buy it twice

Got my carpet from 5.0 resto. as well. I ordered the mass back but when comparing the padding thickness it wasn't anywhere near the oem that came out of the 95 gt. If the slob that I bought the car from would have cleaned up the 2 liter bottle of coke when he spilled it the carpet would not have had to be redone.

They must be making it better bc Mine was great quality and the padding was first class. I bought mine and put it in a coupla weeks ago. And yea, some1 spilled soda all over.

the carpet that I had got from 5.0restos the jute backing was poorly done, real thick in some areas and none in others.
