Hi Q,
There are only a couple of carpet maufacturers but many venders who sell carpet.
So you need to find out who's carpet Full Throttle, (I don't think they're a manufacturer), is selling in order to know the quality and to do a price comparison.
Regards,
Alan

I'm in the midst of installing this carpet set on my 74 right now as we speak. I bought it from Full Throttle over a year ago, and Im finally getting around to it.
The manufacturer information is not on the box, however, I feel that whoever made it did a good job.
As expected some trimming is required, but so far it seems that the wheelwells required more trimming than the floorboard components. All I have left to do is finish the driver side and Im done.
Foil backing comes on some portions, and the molding is very good. I had this stuff sitting in a box for a year and all of the molded shapes are intact.
Im not using the storage compartment carpet...I bought a completed three door kit instead.
Using cut pile as opposed to loop
Hardest part of this job is working in the rear area..start from the back and work forward
