My aftermarket carpet fit like crap so it ended up in the garbage after I found a nicer stock piece. I don't remember what brand it was though.

Just dye if it's not torn up. It comes out a little crusty but when's the last time you touch the carpet on your car? Plus I use floor mats so it looks great and cost me $14. I just used dulicolor carpet paint from autozone since the paint store was closed and I couldn't get SEM

It's better to get a 180sx carpet. Great figment and better material than stock 240sx carpets and they are black.

IMO, if your stock carpet is in good shape then just use SEM colorcoat to paint it. Mine still looks and feels like OEM after using it a couple months ago.

DanielS14 · 10-31-2014, 07:20 PM

getting new carpet is kinda of a waste of money when dying it gives you the same results for $20 imo

supersayianjim · 11-01-2014, 03:58 AM

id rather but real carpet and not worry about the dye coming off during extreme cold or heat.

motoman159 · 11-01-2014, 09:37 AM

My car came with new carpet and it fits perfect IMO. Not sure of the brand.

Myriad what steering wheel set up are you running? Is that a regular or short hub?

***CrimsonRockett*** · 11-01-2014, 02:43 PM

Considering how far that hub sits out, I'd say regular.

Short hub is much slimmer.

What are some good places to hide a fire extinguisher completely out of view?

I am thinking about mounting it to the dash support bar above the glove box, though I am not sure if it will be easy to reach when my dash is on fire.

I have mine velcro strapped to the roll cage, but for you would you be able to mount it to the floor behind the passenger seat?

Do they make these anymore? I want flat ones like this!

IIIXziuR · 11-05-2014, 03:28 PM

Hey guys what is the point of Carbon Fiber door cards?
Do door cards weight that much? I'm not sure, sorry.

I always though these were kind of cool

Most 240 door panels are trash, so I assume its for replacement/show purposes more than weight savings.

Stiveno · 11-05-2014, 06:23 PM

yeah its just for show, you can take a big shit and save more weight lol.

"completely" makes it tough. ive done a few things - on the floor behind passenger seat ( which is pretty hidden) you can reach your right arm back and grab it. currently i have it on the trans hump behind the center console..not exactly hidden.

not sure on the status of your car, could do something like i did and 'hollow' the glove box so its basically just a door to the space behind it...

jr_ss · 11-05-2014, 06:33 PM

I'm not so sure "hidden" is what you really want. In an emergency/panic you're going to want it as easily accessible as possible. You also have to keep in mind, perhaps you're unconscious and the car is on fire. If it's visible, someone may be more apt to grab it and put the immediate flames out, giving more time for your recovery from the vehicle.

Yeah, i just did a cage but hate the bare metal in the doors so looking to put a set of CF door panels, but flat ones that dont intrude with the cage

Konster · 11-05-2014, 10:23 PM

The CF panels in the S14 looks nice and clean with the window switch and door handles. The S13 looks like shit, not trying to offend anyone, just looks like a hack job IMO.
