Really disappointed in the quality of this carpet kit. Not sure if I had too high of expectations—has anyone else used these? What is a good carpet kit you would recommend instead?

I have used these guys for a former 356SC: https://www.autosinternationalinc.com/

I will probably use them again for my current 914 project when the time comes, very good quality

Yes, there are alot of crappy carpet kids out there

I ordered the same kit ($280) I thought it was decent. Fair for the price. The crap I pulled out was never going to get clean. So, I've gone from crap to decent. I can't say that I'm thrilled. I feel like it is comparable to level of junk they put in these cars originally. I'm certain an upgrade in price would elicit a better product. I waited over a year for 914Rubber to have carpet kits back in stock and they never appear in the color I needed. Or if they did they sold out in an hour.

They all seemed to be priced the same across the board, as I am currently shopping. The German stuff is the expensive stuff, and I think they all use the same supplier.

Which one did you order?

I got the "Perlon Felt OEM-Style Porsche Material" decided it wasn't worth shipping back and dealing with the hassle... doesn't fit all that badly but there are random gaps and things. my car is a daily beater so it doesn't bother me all that much
