Most (95%) C3 carpets you will find on the market are a cheaper, 13-15 oz. composite made by AC. 13-15 oz. is standard carpet in economy automobiles. But, AC also makes a limited quantity of a significantly higher density carpet (i.e. 20-22 oz. premium) and as a previous poster noted, Al Knoch is one of few suppliers who carry it. I bought mine through them and could not be more pleased. And, it included all of the pre-cut pieces for the interior. Be prepared to trim the extreme outer edges of the storage doors so that the door frames tuck, glue & screw down evenly - really looks nice.
Be sure to thoroughly douse it in an outdoor, well ventilated space (driveway) with a spray can of 3M Fabric Protector (not the foam "3M carpet protector foam which is messy). You will help preserve your new carpet’s appearance/stain resistance for years.
Good luck -

exact same problem. Ordered items, took my money, but can’t get a response whether they shipped my parts or not. I wonder what is going on with them. Maybe they are really short-handed and are just concentrating on getting orders shipped.
