Default High Quality Carpet

guys,

i just unpacked my classic industries loop carpet and guess what, it sucks ... it it damaged but even if it wasnt, this antique design , the low quality, overall looks just make me puke. hey, why is there no puke smiley ?

anyways, where can i get for my 1971 nova a high quality, premolded, carpet ? you know, like the one i have in my benzo. nice, smooth, not big rough loops, but smooth like mercedes velour floormats ...

please advise, thanks.

OK, another thing : did ii do the wrong thing ordering the loop style and i should have ordered cut pile ? is cut file comparable to a mercedes carpet ?

loop is what was offered from the factory. I think you ordered the stuff for a restoration. I ordered the same stuff and it works fine for me. But if you wanted a different style of carpet, you probably should have went custom. I don't know of anyone that makes molded "Mercedes" type carpet. But an upholstery shop would be my 1st stop.

We use real wool carpeting in our cars - it feels and looks really nice. We'll likely offer it for the applications we support. We also use suede headliners - actually in ultrasuede.

Auto Custom Carpets should have cut pile in any color pre-molded for your car and it's a good product for the $$

dqhemi:

Just looked at your web site. You have some of the best Mopars I have seen in many days.

How much for the '70 Hemi Cuda?
