Hey everyone
It is time to dedicate some attention to my, well, you already know don't you. I am looking to replace the original (yes original) carpet. I have been looking on Ebay and can't really tell what the quality is like of the kits that are available. I found one for 75.00 but the seller gave it a 5 out of 10. There is a supplier in OC califormia that I have spoken to that restores everything porsche and they have the original wool loop kit in original colors but that kit was over 500.00 Does anyone have a recommendation? I want to spend about 150.00 for a charcoal grey or black kit that will fit properly and look not like a crappy after market product until I can afford the real deal. Any thoughts? thx -jp- ps I have a 73 1.7 fuel injected model |

Recheck on that, cuz it may have been the 356/911/912 square loop or square weave wool that wasn't used on the 914s, but some folks do resto's with it. The German material loop pile 914 kit was around the $175-250-ish range at most vendors, & IIRC it's a synthetic even on the OE/NOS ones - not wool. I don't know what material 914rubber is using, so ask Mark W/Mikey914 on here (owner). PS - if you're not in a hurry, you can wait til the Porsche Swap Meet in March at the Phoenix Club in Anaheim & meet AI & others in person there for pricing & ordering .... as well as a bunch of other Porsche goodies & display cars!
