Default Replacement Carpets

The carpets in my 85 are shot. I've found several replacement sets on the web, but I'm not sure which one is the best quality and value.

Does anyone have any recommendations on who is the best to get carpets from?

Thanks.

SilverMom- take a look at Willcox, they have good deals on e-bay. Look for "mass-backed" carpet(original carpet).Al Koch also comes up as a good supplier as well. Doug

on Wilcox, I've gotten a few items from them and they were all top notch and usually cheaper then the competition. WW

- installed new carpet in my 85 last year. willcox via ebay - around $425 shipped. came from corvette america and originated at ACC. most of your better vendors are selling ACC sets.
