hi i have a 924s 1988 and i was thinking about ripping out the old purple/redish carpet in my car. i'm trying to make the my car all red and black on the inside i have already sprayed the dash and the door pannels. i'm getting racing red/black seats soon but the carpet i have looks really ugly. what would be the best way to remove the carpet and what would be the best replacement. i'm trying to put in a black carpet. thanks in advance guys.

sorry to hijack this thread, it seems prevalent to it though. how do you get the carpet around the accelerator pedal without ccutting it? this is on an 81 924, i see a black knob that looks like it might be what to push out, but i dont want to get to a point that i cant get back to!

You can unscrew the base of the pedal where it attaches to the floorboard, or unhook the linkage behind the pedal. I unhooked the linkage because I couldn't get the floor screws out. I'll cross that bridge when I am forced to replace the pedal.

push or pull the c-clip off, and pull the top pin out to release the top of the pedal...(this is the easiest way!) take your choice on clips...one on each end and 1 plastic bushing per side.

i got to a point where i just said, hmm...what am i going to want to do when putting it back in? the easy way, or the right way? i decided the easy way. i made a clean cut from the top down to the pedal with a carpet cutting knife. it looks like it was factory done, and looks real clean. then i power washed it, used a little soap and voila, clean and black.
sorry again for the hijack.
