Nifty (NPI) carpet sux. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ordered from Summit for $99. Its 1/4" too short door to door no matter how much I pulled. You can only see it at the kick panels. Now I'll have too peel my kick panel carpets off and re-glue them a little lower to fill in the gap.

I bought Nifty carpet from JCW and I too noticed it was a little short from side to side. Its going to take some work in order to make it fit right.

bagged 81- If I knew a carpet layer I would borrow his stretcher. Nice truck. How much does a gallon of Cndy Red go for these days? I'm painting mine a metallic Ruby Red sort of color. I've got most of the body work done and its in beige primer now.

Same here.I bought my Nifty about a year ago and just went to put it in.It is short but I do not have carpeted kick panels.Will just have to leave it or glue it down the edge.

I bought Nifty carpet from summit for I think 114.00 I havent put it in yet so I dont know if it fits. It look like good quality though. I got the one that covers under the seat. Did you get the full carpet too?

Yes but carpet isn,t wide enough.I ran a bead of silicone down the side of kick panels
