Default Need recommended sources for carpet and interior pieces.

I need to replace the carpet and interior door panels of my '80, and I'm hoping to find a reliable vendor who sells great quality products @ very reasonable prices (Gosh, what a novel concept; I'll bet no one's ever tried for that combo before ;) .
Please let me know who's worth dealing with, and, if allowed on this board, tell me who I should avoid. I've read stories on here of people having to make all kinds of adjustments to items allegedly made to factory specs, and I'm trying to avoid that scenario.

ttt

Garandfan, thanks for the info.

Anybody have a direct link to Wilcox? I don't want to have to rely on my ebay sniping skills to get this stuff; I'd prefer to buy direct.

How does he campare to Al Knoch or Gruhala for quality and price?

Is the stuff in the catalogues worth considering (Mid-America etc).

Any Forum sponsors?

As you can tell, I was hoping this question would elicit more answers and give me a better idea of what's out there. Same thing happened when I asked it two months ago. :(

Almost all vendors sell ACC (Auto Custom Carpet) so fit and quality is almost identical. TDL (The Last Detail) in Atlanta GA also has great prices on interior stuff, and it's mostly Corvett America brand without the CA price!! . Wilcox can be accessed at yankeelady.com
A search engine does wonders for looking up vendors.

Might also try Al Knoch. Top notch parts and reasonable prices for what you get.

I second the TLD recommendation, I got all my stuff from them and it is all top quality. Great prices too!
