Carpet
Hi,
Well my 2000 conv is going into paint. At the same time I am going to replace the carpet and seats. I already have a set of C7 seats. I am looking for info of where is the best place to purchase a complete carpet kit. would like to stay with factory look. Can anyone recommend where would be a great place to buy from?
Thanks

I can't say from experience, but I've seen these complete carpet sets advertised here from Southern Car Parts, a forum vendor.

Zip and Ecklers both sell full carpets sets. I would check them out.
Be aware that Southern Car Parts is part of RPI (check the transaction feedback forum page). I've actually been pretty happy with the products I've ordered from Southern Car Parts. However, you should be aware that it will take awhile to get your order, and there is no customer service to speak of.
As for VetteNuts, they are a salvage yard. Their website does offer new products, but they can't really be trusted to honor the prices on their website. I ordered a set of RK Sport door sill plates from them about a month ago. They sent me an order confirmation that included the pricing as well as an order #. Several weeks later when my order had not arrived, I called them and was told that the pricing on their website was outdated, and that they refused to honor my order for the agreed upon price. When I said that I didn't feel that was right, they cancelled my order and told me to go elsewhere.

If you already have the seats and carper out, I would spend a few bucks on a quality sound deadening treatment like Dynamat. Also insulate under the center console to cut down the heat.

Hi
Thanks for all the answers, i will check into them. It seems that a lot of the web pages sell kits made by the same company. Has anyone used this company:
https://www.ocautocarpets.com/produc...vertible-mass/
I will check the recommended companies.
Yes I have been looking at insulation kits. Would Lizardskin work any better?
Thanks Again

That said, there are not a lot of other options. Aside from used, there is ACC. My old Toyota truck's carpet is shredding, and I may very well try ACC from OC or Rock Auto. A lot cheaper of course, with no corvette tax...

The first time I started the car after doing my interior installation, I thought something was wrong with the motor! Then realized it was literally just that much quieter in the cabin.
