We are redoing a 1973 914 2L
I can get a Carpet Kit from Pelican or I can get a Upholstery Shop to install a complete Carpet. Assuming the quality of the carpeting is the same and the price is relatively the same.... Now the discussion my son and I are having: 1. Which is "Stock" - one piece or pieced as in the kit? 2. Which will add value to the car more? - not that we would ever sell it. 3. Are their any advantages for one or the other. Can you help us out with your ideas? |

I've gone with kits before and they didn't fit quite right.
As long as you like the kind of carpet the shop has i'd go with them. The stock carpeting comes in pieces. I don't see any change in the value. |

I went with the PP kit.
It fit *OKAY* and it was the german loop carpeting, its a shame that the PO did that *BEFORE* fixing the other stuff. Cause now its kinda trashed. I'm going to go to black though. b |

Original Fit makes a carpet kit that fits perfectly, and it is very affordable. Comes in a great looking salt and pepper loop. I have used his carpet kits for years, I would recommend highly.

do you have a link for this carpet.
I'm using a tweed heavy duty fabric for the door panels and I'm thinking salt and pepper carpet would tie in nicely. |

Living at the beach and sailing alot I would track alot of sand and dirt into mine, just pull out the floor piece, beat it a few times, stick it back in. My .02 |

Check out Auto's International, they advertise in most of the magazines and seem to have well cut, original look carpet kits or plush ones if you want.

I got a kit of grey carpet from Morphenspectra... the fit was good.
I fitted it, let it settle for a while, then refitted it with a bit of spray adhesive. I thought it was a good value. I like grey (black interior) because it hides dirt, and I don't want to vacuum every week. Cocomats are a good investment, too. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
