Looking at replacing the carpets. So far Romeo Engineering seems to have the best price. Anybody familiar with carpets from this company

If you want the BEST go with AL Knoch from Texas. Correct material Weave and cut...FYI, if you are restoring per NCRS, you need to know that Carpet was cut two different ways, Early up to March 63 the "toolbox" under the seats were exposed carpet was lined with vinyl edging material. After May carpet covered those openings. Also make sure you purchase the hard rubber grommet for the dimmer switch in the front. Finally, no undermaterial (jut) was used on the 63, and when putting the carpet in use the adhesive (spray) sparingly...do not use a lot of it. The adhesive was just to stop the carpet from shifting not to make it part of the floor. Regarding the person you mentions, never heard of that vendor, but you will not be dissapointed with Knoch products....
