I'd read that some of the carpets out there were pretty flimsy, so I paid more for the set from American Motorworks, thinking it would somehow be better than the Wilcox set (which was cheapest price wise) I have to say I am disappointed. The new carpet is very thin.
I did have Al Knoch redo my steering wheel and am extremely pleased with the both the price and the quality. Next time I"ll get use Al Knoch for carpet too.

Try Romeo Engineering, the guy apparently makes very good stuff, and includes the correct "IMCO" label on the heelpad. He claims he's the only one who does this. Prices seem ok, HOWEVER....HE IS SLOW....so make sure he has what you need in stock. I'm not sure of his number, but if you google "Romeo Engineering Corvette", , You should find the site, Good Luck!.If not , Al Knoch always works.

It seems that Al Knoch is the popular choice...
It seems that al knoch is the popular choice it's ironic I was just looking at their site today because they claim to make the best seat covers but wasn't sure since I couldn't see the backs of them specifically the seems I am looking for covers that best match the originals any suggestions?

I install a lot of Corvette carpet. I use Auto Custom Carpets. I bought AL Knochs for my 75 convertible and it was the worst carpet I ever used. The front didn't fit worth a crap. I took it out and installed Auto Custom Carpet and it fit perfect.
