Question replace flooring

Hi - I just bought my first Excursion! 2002 7.3 diesel - I am going to update and redo most of it - new custom seats, new paint job outside - velocity yellow! a 3 inch lift - So far I have research and decided on all the previous items. I want to take out the carpet and replace it with a rubber type floor. I do not want floor mats or replacement mats. I have not found a good site for this. Has anyone done this? How easy/hard was it? who did you purchase the product from? Thank you for all the info in advance!
I am super excited to be taking on this project and want the floor done before I put in the new seats.
I am also going to paint the interior. anyone paint their headliner? - what did you use? Have you dyed the carpet on the back of the seats and the door panels? and what did you use. I want to go with a graphite gray.
THANKS!

Dawn

Welcome

Congrats on joining the club! You'll find a lot of helpful, friendly people here.

For the flooring, check Rockauto. They have the complete passenger area made by ACC, with the backing, for around $230, plus shipping, of course. You can always find a discount code for them to save an extra 5%, also.

Others have had great success on a stained, beaten down carpet with a good degrease/pressure wash. The Ex came with a high quality carpet from KY, it’s probably worth salvaging. Still a big job, either way you go.

Remove it and use a good carpet cleaner + scrub brush followed by a wash, then dry thoroughly. Will come out like new.

Having just done this, I will confirm, it is NOT a difficult process to remove and clean. A gallon of Simple Green and a scrub brush followed by a good pressure washer and my 18 year old carpet looks almost new.... Had the weather cooperated, i would have rinsed and repeated and it would probably be as good as new.
