man-a-fre pvc "carpet?"

[jnidecker]

Man a fre sells a molded PVC "carpet" kit for the 60's for around $350 bones. Anyone have this in their rig? does it include the rear cargo area? flexible or rigid? worth it or crap?

I called about it and they said I could order it but said their were already orders in and could take months to get it. They don't keep any in stock. So if you want to wait for months until they call you it might be an option.

I would like to see some pictures if anybody has installed it since he said they didn't have any pictures except what was on the website.

I called them a couple of months ago and said they were discontinued. I was interested in it as well. NorcalFJ60 must have talked to someone else who knew more info.

Dont bother with the SOR diamond "flooring" complete waste of money!!! They dont even come pre-cut!

probably not worth it

I got a "molded" rubber floor kit for my hot rod and it is so thick it doesn't fit right. After spending all that money and having it professionally installed I wish I had just put in a good carpet kit.

i bought the big piece for the rear (rear seat folded down) and i didnt come cut to size either but i do find it pretty nice. i need to go in and line two sides of it with velcro though to keep it in place...tends to slide around in hard cornering. otherwise i think it works pretty well and looks decent...better than the carpet its covering.

its looks nice... but the price that SOR charges is outrageous for what you get. I thought that they would be an exact fit for the amount I spent on them. Better off just buying a piece of the diamond flooring and doing it yourself. That was the last time I spent money with SOR I was so angry!

I have the SOR Diamond kit for the cargo area, and it came as a two piece so it has the gap between the rear seat and the floor of the cargo area, so dirt, dog hair, and everything else ends up on the carpet right there anyway. I would like to buy the raw material and make a one piece, but you need a 5x7 foot piece, which is very tough to find for some reason. Lots of 4 foot wide pieces, but no 5'.

I asked them f I could have a one piece rear, and they said no joy, its to think to fold.

they must have changed it then because they sold me a one piece mat back a few years ago.

and it doesnt actually *fold* but it does curve up and more or less conform to the back of the rear seat when the seat is in use...

i havent measured my mat in a while but i believe it is only about 1/8 or 3/16" thick. too thick to actually fold into a right angle, but thin enough to be pliable and bend just fine.

they must have changed their suppliers or something.

but i agree with the too expensive part, i thought this was going to be pre-fitted as well, but no such luck.
