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

I got this carpet at Home Depot. I cut the new carpet from the old set and then sewed a edge around the carpet and added the footpanel to the drivers side.
When I picked up the drivers panel I also got some 1/2 inch backing and sewed this to underside of the driver and pass floor carpet. Got about $20 invested into it.
I do have a industrial walking foot sewing machine.
The carpet has held up great, been in the car for 6yrs now.
Guess I should have cleaned it before taking the pictures.
