It's best to lay the carpet in the sun for a while and let it heat up before installing. I used AL Knoch carpet which is good quality but I was not particularly impressed with the fit. A friend of mine just recently was telling me of someone who replaced the carpet in his vette with mid america carpet. He said MA was making their own carpet and the quality and fit was excellent. If that's true that's good to know!.

I haven't layed my new carpet yet, but I got it off of Ebay. Hope that doesn't come back to bite me.

They do sell them seperately. I had Jegs or Summit order one from richmond for me. Seems like it was about 16 bucks. Here's the part #'s 9260000- (68-76)
9260001-(77-81)
