I think the carpet was only around $$200 shipped and what a nice differance it makes... I do realize how much a new top means, with out it the carpet is worthless!!!! I want a new top also and will get one, Lots out there to chose from. The only reason i want new is that the back window can come pre-tinted!!!! got to match the windows you know!!!! God, these cars are like funnels into which you pour money!!!!!!
