Which carpet. Cut pile or loop?
Im not concerned with originality and need new carpet for my 69.
Which would you go with the cut pile or loop?
From my experience the loop carpet seemed to show wear quicker. Maybe it was just me?
Also, is all the carpet out there of the same quality? I want the best!

Al Knoch probably has the best quality and the highest price; others are less costly and decent quality; then there are those that are 'cheap'. Cut pile looks more luxurious....loop pile looks more 'period correct'. Cut pile is easier to clean; loop pile wears better (IMO, anyway). Choose the one that looks best to YOU.

I know you don't care about originality but if you have the standard interior then is 80/20 loop. Cut pile for deluxe interior. I have the loop but with floor mats it doesn’t wear at all.

just finished the interior for my 78. bought cut-pile kit from willcox. quality of materials rated good. no issues. not bad for a kit which included the carpet, dr panels and seat covers.
