Default Best Carpet Sets

Who has the best fitting carpet sets? Spray or liquid quart can glue?

Any recommendations on insulation, can I purchase locally in bulk and trim to fit or purchase fitted sets with carpet?

Need a complete set for 81'

Thanks

Wilcox has great carpet sets. Good sets also come with insulation backing.

For adhesive, I like the 3M Super 90 spray glue.

No real need to glue any of the carpet down except for the rear wheel well areas. The rest will be pinned down quite thoroughly by the parts above the carpet.

I am with the first two - I just put new carpet and heat barrier in one a couple of nights ago - the only thing i would do different next time is buy Dynamatt instead of the heat barrier the corvette guys sell - better product and better coverage.
