Is the stock carpet type called a german loop or maybe something different?
Is the most common color called a charcoal or salt and pepper? Is this correct carpet type still available? |

Are you talking about needle felt? As far as I know it is.

Perlon?
I googled and got this from the World Upholstery website. QUOTE Porsche used squareweave carpet exclusively in their 356 models. With the introduction of the 911 in the late 1960s the factory continued with the use of this material for a short time. Perlon, a felt type of carpet, was offered along with squareweave in the early 911s. Squareweave had been phased out by the early 1970s and replaced by a wool wilton type of material known a Haargarn. Haargarn and Perlon were replaced in the mid 1970s by Sliverknit carpet which is still in use today. Most 924/944 and 928 models use a type of Feintuft Velour or Sliverknit carpet depending on the year. |

Perlon is THE correct name. The front and rear trunk carpets are perlon and the interior carpet color, even though it is a different material is called Perlon as well. There is a guy on ebay who sells Perlon carpet sets at very affordable prices that are excellent quality.
