[Wooley Bugger]

Hi all. . .

I am new to this forum and to the Element. I just purchased a 2004 EX 4WD with only 23,000 miles :razz:. So far it has been a blast to drive and great for hauling our 2 labs.

With that said, I have a question about the complete carpet kits from SCA. Has anyone opted for the "Classic" vs the "Deluxe" complete carpet kit? Other than being a bit thicker and coming in more color options I am trying to determine which route to go with. I hate to say that $$ is the determining factor, but it is. . . The classic still looks to be made with the same attention to detail - I just need something that will provide a little better sound insulation and a more skid-free surface.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You might look into the foam floor panels that interlock, trim that to fit the back of the E and it works for road noise and gives the pups a good place to ride. There are several threads here about doing the project. (this is just a way to save some cash)

Welcome Wooley. SC has there own thread. If you post in there, they usually answer any questions you may have. Im sure some of the owners of the carpet set will chime in here as well.

Here is the thread:

Good luck.

I went with the classic in my previous 2005 I had....gray tweed. I guess not quite as plush as the deluxe with a little longer pile. The pile was very tight on mine, and it wore well. Can't really say that it cut down on noise very much, but that's not really why I bought it. At the time it was the cheaper of the two, and it's what I could afford. I will be purchasing again for my 2010 E, and I will probably go again with the gray tweed, and not because of price. I just like the tighter weave to it.
