Welcome to the forum. Best trick I've learned here is to use the search button. What do you mean Best Carpet Sets? Price? Quality? Service? Delivery? Sales? Instructions? Warranty? Returns? Website? Did I miss anything? If its all the above, then I'd say your on the right track. I like Zip and Willcox, and have done business with all of them. Whose having the sale this week?

Wilcox had the best deal, If you buy the carpet/panels/seat covers and foam they'll put the covers on your seats for free.. plus they had the best prices when i was looking

Wow that's a deal... I'll call and order mine tomorrow.... Mine had buckskin but not sure i want to go back with that exact color or not... Since i'm replacing or refinishing the entire interior i can pick any color at this point. Any pointers what looks best in Black cars?

Default Carpet & Underlayment?

I also need a full carpet kit and heat/sound underlayment.
Do I get the extra discount too?
I'm willing to buy before 1/31
