"Replacement Carpet for Corvette"
Written by Keith Fudge

 

The Corvette, America 's true sportscar. Since 1953, America has carried on a romance with this legendary icon that has continued to set standards of excellence in terms of style and performance. Corvette owners are among the most loyal in the hobby and often keep their Corvettes for a lifetime. Since they love to enjoy their cars, they often have something that will need to be replaced. That brings us to this segment of Eastwood Garage where we will speak with Mike Yager from Mid America Motorworks about carpet replacement for Corvettes.

First of all, Mid America Motorworks has been in the business since 1974. You know that you are getting parts that are designed and manufactured to OE specifications. When it comes to replacing the carpet in your Corvette, you want to make sure that everything fits just as it should. Mike told us that these carpets are molded and “stamped in,” just like the carpet comes from the factory when the car was built. In addition, all the carpets have a sewn in heel pad on the driver's side and are backed with foil right on the jute to keep out heat and reduce noise. Mike also assured us that when ordering carpet replacements from Mid America Motorworks you will receive ALL the pieces that you need. For instance, on 78-82 Corvettes, you get the replacement pieces to cover the factory speakers, the seat backs, and any other place factory carpet was originally installed. Mike noted that each replacement kit also comes with diagrams for installation that will make the process even easier. By the way, Mike estimates that it will take approximately two hours to complete the carpet installation.

Another product line which Mike is particularly proud of is the line of custom logo floor mats and their new Perfor-Mats. They have custom logo mats for several models. Their new Perfor-Mats, created by Performance Choice and available for Corvettes from 1968 to present, are custom molded and feature a waterproof backing that will protect your carpet or your custom logo mats from mud and water. Remember, since they are molded to fit, there won't be any slipping or moving. So, that just about covers it! Remember, Mid America Motorworks has more than just carpet for Corvettes. In fact, they have more than 47,000 products for Corvettes alone. So, if you are looking for something for your Corvette, chances are the folks at Mid America Motorworks have just what you need. They also carry parts for air-cooled Volkswagens. They stock a large line of parts for Porsche automobiles as well.
