Al Knoch Carpets -- anyone use them???

Just wondering if anyone has used an AL Knoch carpet and how they liked it? Fit? Quality?

Thanks,
-Rick

I put them in my car about 11 years ago. Still look great and fit was fairly easy. Some cutting was needed but its better to have that then to come up short.

I jus got some stuff from them it all looked really good and I cannot wait to put it in when I have some free time. See Wally Knoch on the forum here or you can check his webpage at http://www.nitroalley.net/ He normally helps out forum members with pricing.

whatever you do.. get the carpet with the insulation already on.

I made the mistake of getting bare carpet.. well it didnt fit right so I had to improvise

I've installed two sets of ACC, and helped install Al's. Sorry...I can't see or feel any difference.

I just installed some of Al's stuff in mine. I got the style with the insulation installed. Like said above, I did have to do some trimming but the install went well. I would have no problem using thier carpet again.

I put ACC carpets in my 82 in 1998. They faded, where ever light hit them, within 4 years. Their responce when I called to ask about the fade problem was "did you think they would last forever?". Needless to say I didn't buy replacments from THEM!
I bought from AL Knoch this time as he seems to be the only other company that manufactures their own carpets. They went in with little trimming, the carpet is DEFINATLY more plush than ACC's product and the finish work of the carpet is VERY good.

Hi Rick, I bought Al's leather interior for my 78 two yrs ago. They fit perfect. I bought my vette from a old friend in Prov. He gave me new rugs still in the box. I think they came from Texas. Not sure though. They were a good fit too!
