Those of you who have replaced your carpets with molded kits, did you order it with mass backing, or not? And, what is your opinion on the brand and/or vendor you purchased from?

 

I used one of the main stream interior providers. Did not get the mass backing. The felt backing they provide is about half of what was stock. I ended up getting some stick on heat shield and coated the tunnel with it. That part all worked out fine. I am not certain about the mass backing and here is why. The carpet fit just OK. The molding is not what I would call exact, although, by the time all the trim and seats are back in, it looks just fine. I am not sure if the mass backing would affect the fit in a positive way or not. Biggest issue for me is that none of the holes for the shifter, etc. are present. My jeep came without carpet so I had nothing to use as a template. I tried to guess where the shifter would come through, but by the time I kept moving the hole, my starting point was in a place that showed. Kind of bummed about that, but things are way better than what I started with.
