How to install ACC Auto Custom Carpet in a Crown Vic

[@marcelosemproni857]

Nice job well done and very neat congratulations! But the best thing is to see a son helping the father, very rare in these times that we live!

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

It's been a fun car to play with and a very fun car to drive. :) Thanks Marcelo

Looks pretty good. Some advice I would have for future viewers tackling this job is to leave the vinyl flooring in place, and put the carpet over the flooring. This will help with sound deadening and prevent any spills from getting down to the metal. Also, the opposite, if you want to have sound deadening and keep the vinyl flooring, get a carpet from a junk yard car and put it under your vinyl flooring. You won’t see it, and you’ll get both the benefit of vinyl easy clean and carpet sound deadening. Btw that small plastic piece you picked up at the beginning of the video under the driver seat is for the hood release cover if you weren’t sure where it went. Good video.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Thank you Jono. We debated a time or two about leaving the old floor underneath. Worried a little bit about the small seat studs being overwhelmed with material. Also a little bit about the gas pedal. Neither of which especially the throttle would have been a real issue. That's ok though, not too worried about it. I am still trying to figure out where the hell I put that piece for the hood release. I didn't know what it was. Thanks for that as well. If it's in the garbage I should be able to scare it up if that's where I tossed it.

[@dang8491]

any problems with fit because of the extra layer if you keep the vinyl?

[@kmorton54]

Excellent video. What a improvement the carpeting makes over the rubber floor.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Been very happy with the kit so far. Our rubber floor as you may have seen was completely trashed.

[@neilouellette3004]

I've put in a couple of carpets in the past on a 85 Trans Am & 2003 Grand Marquis. Easy but a tad time consuming. The end result is remarkable for under $200 average. Dresses the interior up to a new car finish w/a new car smell. If selling or flipping a car, it gives impression or shows the car was taken care of. Nothing like a recon buff on exterior and a cleaned interior w/a new carpet. Always set your new carpet in the sun for a few hours before installing. Installation a lot easier. Well worth the $200 average price and time installing. Great satisfaction in the end.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

I agree Neil. It's a total transformation for minimal dollars!

[@PanzerPlatform]

I'm missing your Vic videos. 800 Subs, congrats. -Chuck

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Soon. I promise. We have a mountain of parts for that damn thing. Weather dependent as it doesn't really fit in the garage. Still need to get POS shitwagen running too lol.

[@TROUBLEMAKERVIDZ]

Love the car man even though many of my upgrades are a little more in depth then this i still find myself enjoying your content.... keep it up brother thank you

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Thank you TROUBLEMAKER. Do you have any videos of your car? would check it out for sure.

[@TROUBLEMAKERVIDZ]

@@PNW_Car_Mods i have one or 2 nothing significant. But i have a 03 lx sport im putting a 2.6l kenne bell sc with forged internals 4:10 gears etc and in the process im rebuilding the whole car i have found i learn the most from videos like what you post if i make a updated video ill be sure to let you know my friend

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

@@TROUBLEMAKERVIDZ Looking forward to that. That would be an awesome build. My sons long term goals are 6.0 LS swap and Holley TerminatorX with either a T56 or a TKO 600 trans. Currently it will remain a driver though. He's also interested in finding a Fox body so that would be a whole nother can of worms.

[@TROUBLEMAKERVIDZ]

@@PNW_Car_Mods wow i thought to ls swap or coyote and probably should have.... i would have done a mustang but when i go to meets and stuff people bypass the nice corvettes and mustangs to ask about mine because its unique. Thats what i love about these cars so versatile and so many ways to go with them to make it interesting.... id love to see you guys keep going with that car it would be awesome but as im sure you know if looking for time slips they arent the car hahaha. But whatever it is ill still watch man down to earth content with the kids is always great.... and as you may have seen this channel im on rite now is my old gaming channel i used to youtube but hate editing so i just have a weekly talk show with a small community maybe one day ill start making car videos but id mostly rather watch

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

@@TROUBLEMAKERVIDZ I would love to do a Coyote motor but they're just simply too damn expensive and a LOT more complex than an LS motah.

[@omardeleon867]

Nice job, it looks awesome. This vid will certainly help me in the future when I get to do the same on my car.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Thank you Omar. This carpet is holding up great!

[@tycoon2224]

Thanks for this video, I have to do he same project but I am adding sound proof installation.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

It's definitely the time to do it. We just wanted to get the job done so didn't do it at this time of course. The nice thing is if we did want to put down some adhesive mat it would only take about 10 minutes to get the carpet back out.

[@DannerPlace]

Good video. I'm doing the exact same thing to mine this week, very helpful.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Good luck Dan. So far so good. It's held up great.

[@StevenTheGamer5]

Bah bro me wanting to out police carpet and you taking that off! Lol today it’s the big day I’m putting the police carpet because for me I think it’s more better for my crown Vic

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

I like the factory Police Interceptor rubber floor as well. The one that came in this car was completely trashed though. flat out nasty.

[@StevenTheGamer5]

@@PNW_Car_Mods right

[@67comet]

What'd you guys do about your big air vent in the floor when you put the stick shift in? I pulled mine, but that left the big opening blasting the passenger side with all the air. I'm jonesing to do my carpet now too :) .. Nice.. Thanks for doing these vids .. P.S. Using an old or cheap soldering iron works really well for knocking holes in the carpet (cauterizes the hole). Used that trick in my Dodge Magnum and "67 Comet.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Big air vent is literally just venting into the cabin now. Hasn't really seemed to upset the balance of the HVAC system at all thankfully.

[@67comet]

@@PNW_Car_Mods Yup, that's how my HVAC is too (going on 3 years). Hasn't been an issue, just ugly sometimes :) .. I've built and helped build my oldest boy 2 vehicles (2005 Dodge Magnum / 1979 GMC Suburban), he blows them up days later, so I gave up, and now he rides city transit to work. Good to see you two working away.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

@@67comet There are those kids out there. I guess I'm pretty lucky. I have a buddy at work that has a 25 year old son that has totaled 4 vehicles already. I can't even comprehend how that can happen.

[@EverydayExitSign]

Quick question, when ordering the acc carpet it asks if the car has a heel pad? Do they mean like a dead pedal?

[@EverydayExitSign]

Wait, I see what they’re talking about. That’s nice to be able to choose whether you want a heel pad, definitely confusing as it asks when choosing the sub model of crown vic rather than with the rest of the carpet options

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

We bought this one off of ebay I think it was so there were no options perse. It has help up great over the last year or two. We have a set of generic weathertech floormats in the front and back so the heel pad wouldn't have really mattered for us.

[@aramg47]

Thank you for sharing, very helpful

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Good to hear Aram. We're still very happy with it.

[@zekeholloway4413]

7:31 i wonder if that’s a 2011 thing when they redesigned the seats and pit the lumbar there, because mine is on the side.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

That very well could be. I remember driving this thing home from the auction yard with it on max. I thought I was going to die after 20 miles.

[@dallasgreensmoke]

Im curious where you guys bought the vic from. I just bought a 2011 with 60k miles and the same exact thing on the floor driver side boot wear

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Car came from Seattle Police Department.

[@dallasgreensmoke]

@@PNW_Car_Mods cool mine came from cali...so how do you guys get the back doors open...i have the same exact door panels at the back but i cant open the doors when the lock unlock button is pressed

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

@@dallasgreensmoke there are metal rods installed in the back doors to deactivate the rear door handles from the outside. The operator can move these to suit the conditions of the perp in the back seat. Open your drivers door and look at the front edge of the rear door and you should see the rod sticking out of the door. push or pull to reengage the outside door handles.

[@ianscheurer]

had no idea these cars had rear air ducting

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Neither did we. Ultimately it had to go though when we did the manual transmission swap.

[@ianscheurer]

@@PNW_Car_Mods a sacrifice thats completely worth it lol

[@Si1verRaven]

Unrelated question, how is the ride like since you lowered it ?

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

It's not bad but it does bottom a little easier than I would like for a true daily driver. I think we are going to explore going with the QA1 suspension in the future.

[@sankld7876]

amazing thank so much

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Welcome San

[@moises556.]

I've had my car for 2 years and the lumbar support always bugged me but I got use it it since I didn't know you can adjust it,I went outside to see if my car has the button and it does😂😂😂thanks so much for that

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

You are welcome Pit. It's definitely an odd spot for electronic controls

[@dw4563]

If he wants a rear seat that matches the front seats and some rear door panels I have them and I’ll donate them to the cause

What size torx bit for the seatbelt?

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Pretty sure I said in video what the sizes were. I think lol it's been a minute. I'm out of town so I won't be able to check for a while.

[@limoboy27]

Should be a T50 or T55

[@HollywoodHornet]

Oh, no. Not carpet! I actually like my vinyl floor (mine is still mint tho). I'll keep watching to see how it turns out. Edit: Looking good. I noticed one of the front bolts on my passenger seat was snapped off (sucks to be the wife, cuz she'll be the one with her knees in the dash in the collision). I went to the junkyard to get a bolt out of another and snapped the head off that one too during removal (must be a common problem) I thought to myself. I eventually found a bolt in a car where the seat had already been removed and someone left the bolt behind. One of these days I'll drill out the old bolt shank and tap new threads and anti-seize the "new" bolt.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

I hear ya Hollywood. If his floor was perfect it would have stayed. The chick cop that drove this car was hard as hell on it for only 60k miles. Wait till you see the steering wheel that is getting replaced soon. All I can say is how in the actual f**k does that happen lol.

[@BoogalooBrown]

seems like ill have to replace my 98 grand marquis carpet and swap it out with something else i wouldn't care if it was truck bed liner material I hate carpet i have a 2 year old not trying to deal with and another child on the way ....

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

I don't know if they're even available anymore but you sound like the perfect candidate for a new police interceptor flooring.
