New Owner (Carpet ?)
This past week I bought a 77 L82 with manual transmission. The previous owner did not keep the car out of the weather and the carpet has faded from black to brown. I wanted to know if anyone has recently bought new carpet or knows the best place to order from. I saw carpet kits for sale on eBay but I'm not sure if there any good. Please don't take for granted I know anything, all I know is C3's look sweet. Any help would be much appreciated.

80/20 is a "loop" pile...rather than a "cut" pile. The carpeting strands are loops of nylon; cut-pile is just lots of finer, vertical strands of nylon fiber. The 80/20 carpet was installed with the 'standard' interior and the cut-pile was installed in the [optional] deluxe interior. If the bottom edge of your door panels are carpeted, you want to get the cut-pile carpet; otherwise, install whichever type you like best.

I just bought carpet for my 78' from Wilcox (ACC brand). Of the 7-8 stores I checked, they were the cheapest. Came in less than a week. Haven't installed it yet so can't say much about the fit.
