Default Carpet recommendations

Hi,

I finished patching the holes in my floor pans today.

I also ordered a roll of sound deadener today (luckily the good advice given on this forum prevented me from gluing down the reflectix before the sound deadener ).

Now I have to order the new carpeting.

I'm looking for recommendations as to a supplier. I have heard lots of good things about Al Knoch.

I have purchased seat covers from Willcox and the quality was excellent.

So, I just wanted to test the waters to see what popular opinion has to say about carpet suppliers.

All opinions are most welcome.

TIA.

Dave

I have done a lot of C3 carpet and used ACC(what you'll get from most suppliers) and then used Al Knoch. In the 80/20 the Knoch carpet has more loops for better density which makes it like OEM. I've had cars with original carpet so I know what it looked like. The ACC is good but seems"thin" compared to Knoch.

Just finished installing carpet from Wilcox last week. Went in fine and looks great. More than enough carpet to allow for trimming.
