I'm thinking of replacing the original carpet in a 1971 914-6. It had the gray loop carpet originally. I was going to send off for some samples from several companies but I first thought I'd ask to see if someone has been down this road before. I'm not looking to change the type of carpet in the car to felt, sliverknit, etc. so I am only looking for recommendations that relate to the type of carpet originally used in the car.
Anybody already have this figured out? Thanks, Jeff |

Anybody already have this figured out? Thanks, Jeff we have the closest to date now. A very good quality charcoal loop just a little lighter than the original. The original kits are very very expensive as they are all nos, and the carpet has not been available for years. We put a kit together for the 914 limited edition (a car we did with no expense spared!) Also as a good color match, the 916 had installed from the factory, the cut wool (hardigan??) which is the exact color but is of course not loop |

The closest they have is a long ways off from what Porsche used. I'll order samples from the other two companies mentioned in this thread and see how they look. Thanks, Jeff |
