Don't ever buy one from LMC - they're junk. The only decent ones are the Dennis Carpenter ones for $300, so if you're willing to sell one for less than that I'd be pretty interested.

The Carpet Job I did was a cheap and pretty easy way of dressing up an old cracked pad. I used 3M adhesive to glue it on. That stuff worked great. It was a little tough to pull the carpet around the edges to not show any seams or wrinkles. I started out by glueing the carpet first to the top making sure it was straight and then just "trial" folded the carpet until I thought it looked good and then glued small areas at a time on the underside of the pad. The carpet I used was thick enough to be a little tough to fold and glue, but worked out OK. I probably left about an inch or so folded under the underside of the pad. Heck, for roughly 15 bucks, I made an old cracked pad look pretty good. Thanks for the compliments.
