Default Carpet kits?

About time to replace the carpets in my '02 Coupe. Who sells the good setup?

Thanks for the input!

I really like my all weather, custom C5 hexomats. They're not carpet, but they look great in my opinion and are super practical. They cover the entire "carpet area" so they look super good. If you ever have a leak, you won't regret having them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/273026853634

Really good quality product.

I bought my replacement carpet to do my vert color change from stockinteriors.com

Haven't installed it yet but I went with the OEM pile and it feels/looks like oem.

I just did a complete carpet change from grey to black in my 03 coupe. After reading several reviews on this forum, I decided not to buy any of these new kits...largely in part to fitment issues, bindings....etc. I spent some time searching and ended up buying a complete kit from a donor vehicle....made the install a breeze as everything is pre-cut and molded. Also installed Vettenuts insulation kit while the carpet was out.

Doner, from Vettenuts or similar is by far the best option. I bought the complete ACC kit in Truevette with mass backing, and was very disappointed. The fit is not good, the binding around the parking brake was so atrocious i cut it off and applied a door edge strip. Stains in a couple of places, burns from the molding heat in others. The insulation is loose, and not very close to original.
