Wilcox quality is highly regarded on this forum. Corvette America and Mid America is also quite good. Thanks for the heads up about Eckler's carpet.

I bought from Willcox for my '80. Price was right and they called me about some questions I had. Great service. The carpet fit with only minor trimming as was expected. '80's used cut pile and my set went in easy and looks great. I highly recommend Willcox for many reasons. I also recommend getting new console side panels. The old ones are a bear to skin off and reuse.
