You didnt say what year car you have but I used mid 80s gray Olds Cutlass cloths and vinyl when I was doing the interior of my Malibu wagon. The closest match to the carpet was ACC Dove Gray. Cut pile is the standard but get it with the mass backing. Cheapest price I found was rockauto. They have it drop shipped.

Does you car have a cowl tag?

Maybe slate gray but easier to do with the cowl tag than guess by pictures,

Seeing 82 (82D, 82I, 829) It'll be Meduim Dark Gray. Years of sun light would of bleached/lighten the color so direct color match will be off on a new carpet. BTW, 15 (15U) is your exterior color code for Meduim Gray metalic.

Yes exterior is medium gray and its hard to tell colors because its aged and bluish colored

From what I have for color combo info shows your exterior color only came with the choice of gray or burgundy. I didn't see RPO D60 (interior color compatible override) on the sticker or a 27_ for blue.

What sets apart Essex carpet from the rest of the field? Like your standard cut pile carpet, Essex carpet is composed of 100% Nylon yarn. Unlike your standard cut pile carpet, Essex carpet is tufted to 1/10 gauge cut pile. What this means is your Essex carpet has more tufts of carpet per inch as compared to your standard cut pile, which is tufted to 1/8 gauge. The increase in tuft maintains the performance of your carpet, despite the increased pile height. So even though your Essex carpet is thicker, and plusher, you still get the same great performing automotive carpet as any of our other styles.


Speaking of plush, our Essex carpet contains 22.5 ounces of yarn per square yard. This creates a uniquely soft feel underfoot, and when paired with the optional mass backing, the Essex carpet creates an exceptional noise and heat barrier.

Cut Pile vs. Essex Carpet - What's the Difference?

Looks like the same Medium Dark Gray that I have in my 86 GP. RPO code 82H on the tag at the windshield.
