Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the following.
This ACC molded replacement carpet is designed for 1993-2002 Pontiac Firebird coupes equipped with a factory center console. It fits hardtop and T-top Firebird, Formula and Trans Am models.
The one-piece cut-pile carpet features factory-style mass backing, a center-console split and separate jute insulation padding.
The carpet package includes:
- One-piece molded cut-pile coupe carpet
- Approximately 45-mil EVA mass backing
- Separate jute insulation padding
- Factory-center-console split
- Selected carpet color
- No separate driver-side heel pad
Floor mats are not included.
Carpet Coverage
The one-piece carpet covers:
- Driver and passenger front floor areas
- Rear passenger floor area
- Transmission tunnel
- Original carpeted rear hatch deck behind the folding rear seat
It does not extend into the recessed storage compartment below the hatch floor and does not replace the separate carpeted side-trim pieces in the cargo area.
A removable trophy or rear deck mat is not included.
Carpet-Only Configuration
Part number 9302FBCARPETCOUPEMASS includes the molded carpet, mass backing and separate jute padding only.
Front and rear floor mats are available separately. Customers requiring both molded carpet and matching floor mats should select the complete package offered under part number 9302FBCARPETMASS.
Factory-Style Mass Backing
Mass backing is an approximately 45-mil-thick layer of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate bonded to the underside of the molded carpet.
Compared with standard lightweight backing, mass backing provides:
- Greater structure and rigidity
- Improved retention of the molded floor-pan contours
- Additional heat insulation
- Additional sound control
- A heavier, more substantial feel
- A smoother finished appearance after installation
Mass backing became common in later-model factory automotive carpet applications. This makes the mass-backed version the closest available ACC configuration to the heavier factory-style construction used during this production period.
The jute insulation padding is supplied separately. Install the padding against the floor pan before positioning the molded carpet.
Console-Split Design
The carpet is manufactured with a center split for vehicles equipped with the factory center console.
The center console must be removed before installation so the carpet can be positioned over the transmission tunnel and aligned with the molded floor-pan contours.
The console split is not a completely finished installation opening. Final openings for the shifter, console, seats, seat belts and related interior components must be carefully cut during installation.
This carpet can be used with compatible automatic- or manual-transmission vehicles. The installer must position and trim the shifter opening for the vehicle’s original transmission and console arrangement.
Carpet Color Selection
This carpet is available in multiple ACC automotive carpet colors. Select the desired color from the current ordering menu.
Common fourth-generation Firebird carpet selections include variations of:
- Ebony Black
- Graphite
- Medium Gray
- Medium Beige
- Flame Red
- Light Mocha
- Opal
- Pewter
- Medium Neutral
- Medium Sand Gray
Original colors and factory terminology varied according to model year, trim level and production configuration.
Do not rely solely on the color name when ordering. Interior fading, lighting, previous carpet replacement, cleaning products and screen settings can affect color comparisons.
If an exact match is important, compare an ACC carpet sample with an original section protected from sunlight before ordering.

Carpet Construction
The automotive-grade cut-pile carpet is heat-and-pressure molded to follow the contours of the fourth-generation Firebird coupe floor pan.
ACC supplies molded carpet with additional material around certain edges so it can be correctly positioned and trimmed for the individual vehicle. Seat, seat-belt, shifter and console openings are not completely cut in advance.
This application is manufactured without a separate driver-side heel pad, matching the ACC design for 1993-2002 Firebird coupe carpet.
Items Not Included
This listing does not include:
- Front floor mats
- Rear floor mats
- Removable rear hatch trophy mat
- Recessed storage-compartment carpet
- Separate cargo-area side carpet
- Center console
- Seats or interior trim
- Sound-deadening material beyond the included mass backing and jute padding
Installation Information
This carpet is premolded but requires complete test-fitting and final trimming during installation.
Before making permanent cuts:
- Remove the seats, center console, sill plates and related interior trim
- Remove the original carpet
- Inspect and clean the floor pan
- Test-fit the separate jute insulation padding
- Position the padding against the floor pan
- Center the carpet over the transmission tunnel
- Work outward toward the doors and rear hatch area
- Confirm that the molded contours are correctly positioned
- Mark the seat, seat-belt, shifter and console locations
- Cut each opening gradually
- Trim the outer perimeter only after completing the full test fit
- Test-fit the removed interior components before completing installation
Do not rely exclusively on the removed carpet as a cutting template. Original carpet can shrink, stretch or contain incorrectly positioned openings from a previous installation.
Professional installation is recommended if the installer is unfamiliar with premolded automotive carpet.
Reproduction Information
This is a newly manufactured ACC reproduction carpet. It is not used, New Old Stock or an original discontinued GM carpet.
Minor differences in carpet color, pile, texture, density and backing may exist compared with aged factory carpet because currently available automotive materials are used.
Made in the USA.
