I want to replace the carpets in my 1975 914 1.8L. I think grey would look great, though what I have now is a light tan color.
Where do you guys buy replacement carpets, and which product do you recommend? A few years ago I got off of ebay a complete set of replacements which are okay, but rather thin looking, nothing like the original. I am thinking of redoing them again, and I'd like to use a higher quality product, closer to original. (But this is for a driver quality car, so I am not going for the crazy expensive stuff.) Thanks, Andrei. |

I'd suggest that you go with the German made material, since it wears longer & better, so you won't be replacing it too often as a DD or often used 914, since the Domestic seems to wear in sooner.
There are other sources out there such as Autos International (Vista CA), World Upholstery (Ventura CA), Lakewell.com (Europe) who sell 914 carpet kits, but AFAIK 914Rubber is the only one doing the original style round grommets as shown in the pic above. All will be roughly in the same ball park for prices on Domestic &/or German. If you need cheaper than those, then you may want to see what a local upholstery shop who does good restorations would charge you to make up some using your existing carpet as a pattern, with what carpet selections they have, but they may be no cheaper either. Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
