I need to redo my interior in my car really bad.. Ecklers has the carpet kits and seat kits.. Is this a good place for carpet and seats?
Does the carpet fit nice when pre-cut?
Leather or vinyl seats and door panels?


I know the stock was most likely vinyl, but are the replacements worth it in vinyl again? And should I repad or put heat barrior down?

Thanks: Gene.

I redid mine with Willcox. (they do have a forum discount) and it is great quality and went down pretty easily with just a few minor trims. The packages they have are the best way to do it and come with carpet, seat covers (original, leather, or driver leather) and door panels.
The seat covers I got were 100% leather and came out beautiful. I did the drier leather which is supposed to not be of perfect quality but I cannot find a single defect on the seat anywhere.



I also used Reflectix from Lowes for the heat insulator under the carpet

Wilcox also!! I used reflextix from the hardware store for the heat barrier. It all worked out well although that back of the seat area is a bi@@h. I still haven't got it right.

Buy direct from Al Knoch if you want the best seat covers.

Everyone else is pretty much the same as each other, either selling Knoch's stuff or cheap imitations.

Willcox is my choice

IMHO, Al Knoch, will give you the best quality.

Yes. Eckler's usually has good quality parts, but so do many of the other Corvette providers. Corvette Central, ZIP Products, Willcox etc. Al Knoch provides NCRS quality interior components.

Yes, but you should expect to have to do some trimming for a perfect fit. I have Eckler's restoration grade carpet in my '68. Good stuff.

Up to you. My advice is not to install new upholstery over old seat foam. New foam will give the new upholstery a better appearance.

Yep.

I used Wilcox 100% leather and love it! Ron

I used Willcox too. Great product. Unfortunately when I bought Willcox wasn't a memember so no discount for me.

It will cost more up front, but it will fit and it will look right when you are done.

wilcox was great both in product (they use all the major parts suppliers and get the products to you at the right pricing) and customer service. after my experiences, i wouldn't even consider anyone else the next time i'm in that market again.

I agree, got mine from Al Knoch and I'm in Barrie, Ontario, Canada! Their quality, prices, delivery, and service was fantastic!

I ordered mine through YearOne. They were actually Al Knoch covers. Fit and look great!

Another super-satisfied Al Knoch customer here.

Not hijacking, but how easy was it to do your own seats?

I was considering getting Al Knoch to do mine when he's at Pomona, but will miss him due to work commitments! I just did the carpet (was a birthday present so I don't know where from) and that turned out excellent (and was some hard work!)

where would be the best place to get the instructions or process for one to do their own, once I get the materials?
