73 914 Tan interior Refurbish Suggestions Options

[LPmold]

I have a 73 with the lighter color Tan interior. Its completely in need of replacement. I see carpet kits, door panels and seat kits from a few internet stores.
Looking for YOUR experienced opinion of Quality vs Price and good service??
Price matters, but not as much as fit and finish! I want to keep the factory color as close as possible. I can do some R&R, cut fit glue, etc. The more complete I can buy the better.

Thanks in advance for your comments!!

Somebody somewhere makes a tan carpet kit ...

One of the problems I see is the name of the color. I've seen it called Tan, Beige, Light Brown, Oatmeal, and now Cinnamon.
Seems like you'd have to get a sample swatch before ordering to make sure the color you expect is the color you get.

Also, and I may be wrong about this, but it seems like the square weave cars of '75-'76 had interiors with more of a golden brown color, like this one:


... not to be confused with the Brown or Dark Brown interior

Wow, that 1st pic you posted is really what I'd call tan or beige. The middle pic looks a lot like my 74 & my COA calls that cinnamon. One thing I've noticed is that cinnamon showed up in 73 & you can tell those apart from the later cinnamons because the door armrests are partially covered in cinnamon. I'd say the last one is definitely brown. Getting back to the 1st pic, that looks like a six interior so I'd have to add that it's an early color. I'm not sure but I think the cinnamon & brown are later colors.
