Good sites/tips on interior upgrades

In the spring i am planning on getting a seat cover or get my whole seat to re-upholstered. If you guys know any good sites that sell seat covers at a reasonable price, please share them with me. Also, id like to get new carpet. the previous owner must have ripped up the original carpet, and put down black, coarse ugly carpet, that he hot glue gunned and duck taped to the floor of the cab. Id like to get black or gray carpet that isnt so scraggly. Id like to put down what was original, or close to it, with that spray adhesive glue, and stretch it tight and do a good job. Like a realt tight stitch carpet like whats in the new cars. If anyone knows where i can get a roll of this, let me know too. This truck is still a good truck, i am just trying to get it in top shape for when i get my liscense. So im just trying to get ideas. thanks.

things to come for it in the near future...
- repaint job. (by me)
- finish cleanup/painting underneath.
- bench seat recovered
- carpet
- upgraded audio system
- K&N full system and engine cleaning
- Cat back duals and flowmasters
- New timing chain (if it needs it)
and maybe more (depends on $$ situation as im noly in high school)

JC Whitney sells a molded carpet that is a pretty good quality. Just order it for your make and model. Took me about 5-6 hours in a Mazda B2200.

There are a couple of other places (besides Whitney) offering pre-molded carpet. Cost runs circa $105 - $125. Feedback over at CustomTacos has been good.

Reupholstery can get expensive (even if you're doing it yourself). Why not just swap in some buckets?...

i am kicking that idea around too. If i could get some buckets chap and get covers or just get good looking buckets, id go for it. Id hafta buy a center console for it too. Ill check at JC whitney. I think ill just try to find a roll of good carpet somewhere, and custom fit it making sure i do a good job.

The roll carpeting will not be as much of a custom fit as you might think!! The preformed molded carpet is the only way to go and have a good fit. To many contours in the floorpan!!
