Got mine from Corvette America. Exact factory replacement color, pre-punched knock-outs for the speakers, pre-molded, didn't require any adhesive except for the dash knee pads which were glued to the panel. I used 3M 777 spray adhesive to reattach.

This is where I got my new carpet to restore my 90's interior. I also used 3M carpet glue and I got the insulated padding cheap through JC Whitney. This keeps the heat and the noise out of your Vette.

You will have to remove lots of interior pieces to expose the edges of the carpet, but once you do it is pretty straight forward.
ALso, I think I removed at least 3 rattles from my car by vacuuming out all the carap that found it's way under the original carpet in the last 20 years (coins, nails, paper clips, etc
).

The Last Detail
Got my interior carpet from The Last Detail and love it. Perfect match and great price. Get the Mass Backing if for the floor. They were really good to work with.
Just my two cents.
