Just wondering how many yards of carpet you would need if you wanted to do some thing different. Also the rear cockpit wall needs a very large piece, how big of a piece would I need back there?

All the time, you need about 6 yards......alittle more for errors!!! Steven

I've got 4-5 boxes of the FFR carpet since I don't use it on my builds. 6 yds is enough

Just be sure you use carpeting made for outdoor use. Otherwise, it can fade very quickly. I carpeted my trunk also, mostly to keep its contents from sliding around so much. I used the Breeze Automotive carpet packages and liked them very much. Breeze's deeper cut pile nap conceals cut seams very well: I preferred it to FFR's carpet.

6 yards sounds like a lot to me, I thought it was closer to 5 needed, though I think I bought 5.5 yards just to be safe. A lot of guys use the Bentley carpet available from a number of different online sources.

I ordered 5 yards from Perfect Fit and then returned it. See my investigations on the other Forum on upgraded carpet. It may help you decide.

I'm not computer literate enough to do that, but if you do a search under "upgraded carpet, I'm sure it will be the first thing to come up. That is on the other FFR Forum.
