carpeting

[bhsswrstlr 10+ year member]

hey guys,

I just finished my center console that holds my 2 new 6W0's. To do it I had to cut the carpet so I could slip the console under the carpet and make it look semi-stock. Now my problem is how to finish the carpet. The edges look like dooky and are all fraid like some a$$less chaps. Now I was wondering what should I use to cap the edges of the carpet off with and how should I go about doing this.

Thanks again,

Ryan

I have a friend who was carpeting his house. The edges looked like shit, so what he did, was get Duct tape, and ran it down the edge of the carpet..leaving half on the carpet..half hanging off..n folded the hanging off duct tape under the carpet..so the edges looked smooth. There's maybe a quarter of an inch of duct tape showing..but its not obvious that it's duct tape..because it looks pretty clean.

That's one possibility..

I installed carpet in houses for now almost 2 yrs. Take some pics and let me see how it looks and the style of carpet etc. and I will let you know what to do. Email at ckustyn@verizon.net

sorry guys for such a slow response...ill try to take pictures soon. i dont have access to a camera very soon but i will see if i can borrow one or get some film developed quick and scan them in. i think ill skip on the duct tape idea, not "finished" enough for me. I was thinking vinyl binding on the edges that are fraid. Let me get some pics and then you can help me out

thanks guys
