Eric;
Wasn't there some one a few weeks back that said they were going to make carpet sets?

I mentioned a few weeks back about some reproduction lenses like turn signals and such that I found a company that would make them if interest was high enough .  But as far as carpet I only know of the two 600 websites that sell the carpet.  I don't know the differences between the 2 though.
I did get some really good pictures of one the reproduction kits though. I'll post them in my picture folder or email me directly

Sedans: The thing with reproduction Sedan carpets is that they don't fit right as the originals had thick plastic on the backs. They were actually Heat Formed to go over the center hump up where the shifter & pedals are. I have never seen repros that are heat formed and they always bunch up.
Also, the original carpets are held down by 3 prong retainer snaps. The original carpet material is thin and reusing the snaps may not work so a lot of people glue down the carpet with contact cement which is a real drag because when it comes time to remove the engine I have to forcibly pull them up in the fronts - 2 through bolts for subframe reside near floor.
Originally the sedan is 3 piece fronts - 1 main floor and 2 wheel well hump covers plus 1 piece rear. Carpets came in black loop or maroon loop depending on the interior color.
Coupes: Repro carpets for coupes should be no problem as they were originally 5 pieces in front and 1 piece rear. the only issue would be if they were glued in place. Coupe carpets only came in black.
You could save yourself some money on carpets if you have the originals that still fit. Buy the material of your choice or color, cut to shape, make sure they fit then have an upholstery shop bind the edges for you. This is a simple process for them as the binding material comes on a roll or you could have them do the whole project for about $150 to 200 depending on carpet material price. The stuff the auto parts stores sell by the roll for $10 is not usually very good and will wear out fast.
