Default Carpet replacement recommendations

I'm planning to replace my front carpet in my 72 convertible and I was curious if there are any recommendations as to which aftermarket carpet is the best. It's got the 80/20 loop in black. I was also going to install heatshielding under the carpet- any recs on that?
Thanks in advance.

Most carpeting comes from the same manufacturer. Just search the major Vette suppliers for the best prices.

I got mine from http://www.riksvet.com/

Here's a great link for inulating your cockpit:

I asked the same question a few weeks ago and was told that Romeo Engineering has the most correct carpet for the C3's. I ordered a complete set for my 1969 and it cost me $155.00 for the set. I have heard that delivery is a bit slow but, I am in no big hurry and I'd rather wait and get the most accurate piece for my car.
