|  Replacing carpets
Thinking of replacing my carpets and door carpet on my C4. Was just quoted $400 labor. I was told it’s a pain. Anyone have an experience with this task? Price fair? Preference on repro carpet vendor? | ||||||||||||||||||||

Hi there, Well, $400 labor depends on how many hours they are talking about. Its not that bad, once you take out the seats. Allthebest, c4c5 | ||||||||||||||||||||

I'm kinda getting that from my Corvette club members who have done it. It's just time consuming--not tough. The $400 was a complete job--including door panels, quote. Same place wanted $85 to just attach my missing driver's side window wipe--with rivets, not staples as the factory had originally done. I passed on that. Again, waiting to hear what the interior guys have to say next weekend. Maybe I should bring the wipe??? I'm going to look into it more in Effingham. I plan to go to the Interiors seminar. Hell, for all I know, the fading isn't that bad--but the cargo mat sure does look very dark in comparison to the carpets.! | ||||||||||||||||||||

$400.00 isn't bad.
