What is the consensus among the 914world for the best Perlon Carpet being made today. I understand an original set is not possible to find, but what is the next best thing? I have heard the set that comes from a shop near Atlanta is too thin and not worth the money. Any other advice?

There are some "reasonable" knock-offs of Perlon. You may want to check Autobahn Interiors, though I've had no dealings with them.

Remember, Perlon was a very basic material, and was supplied for very early 914's and later non-appearance group cars. If you have an appearance group model you DO NOT want Perlon. You need the loop carpet.

What is the year and option level of your 914?

I have a '71 with appearance group. Would it have been perlon originally?
