Haha no I am just kidding. Sorry I do not know the measurement. This was just from when I fixed some rust. A good coat to prevent any more. It looks good though!
maybe with rocker guard or something?

$146 or $160 on rockauto.com
$113 for vinyl

There is something call a measuring tape! That will get you the measurements. LOL Sorry I had too.

But if your needing a measurement then it sounds like your just going to buy carpet for a house and lay it in. There are tons of website that sell direct fit carpets, as shown above.

Was bein lazy haha Their is this mossy oak carpet thant is at my local pepboys. i was either goin to use it for the carpet or use it for the headliner since i pulled the old sagging headliner out. Im not really wanting to paint it but how does the carpet feel after you use the fabric paint? does it clump up or is it just like new

being an ex new car dealer detailer we used to use any spray paint (of the appropriate color of course). spray it on and let it dry completely then take a NYLON or stiff bristle brush (NOT METAL) and gently rub the whole area you just painted. you might have to paint it and rub it a few times to soften the pile of the carpet but it does work very well........did it to porsches and bmws.
