I have gone through two carpet sets through members here. In both cases the carpet is thin and slightly undersized.

I don;t want perlon or some cheap loop carpet; pile seems to give off fuzz.

I want to get some carpet by the yard and do the car myself. I don;t have a heater lever or center console so I want to make a clean center area; all the kits have the heater cutout.

Does anyone have an carpet experience or has anyone done anything custom?

I see squareweave, german pile, domestic loop.

Any good, reasonable, sources out there? World Uph is too pricey.

Pictures of installs would be greatly appreciated. thx

Home Depot has a short loop indoor/outdoor carpet in charcoal gray that you might look at. I haven't used it in a 914 but for the bunk boards on my jet ski trailer. It has been holding up great, considering the harsh environment of salt water and sunlight it's exposed to as well as the weight of the skis. I like the looks of it better then the crappy black perlon I have in my car now.

Thats what I used above. It was avalible in black at the time. I've used the gray for another set since then.
