Maybe I missed it somewhere on here, but how come the carpet needed to be replaced in the first place? Doesn't look bad at all from the pictures.
I just steam cleaned the entire carpet on the 2000 SVT today. It was really dirty from the previous owner and looks brand new now. Floor mats look like they just came from the factory now too.
I like the black carpet with greystone. My Contour's carpet looked exactly like that (and was getting smelly what with those few months of rainwater coming in till I found the leak by the cabin air filter). It was going to be my next "mod" if I had kept the car.
Steam cleaning is a good idea; unfortunately the greystone carpets were never really composed of anything to begin with so there wouldn't have been much to clean. My Maxima's carpet (and floor mats) looks downright plush next to my Contour's.
I was amazed too at the amount of crap that gets on top of the floor padding under the carpet. Plus the stupid glue crap that gets stuck to your pants when you sit on it.
