Default Anyone Used Romeo Engineering Carpets

Just curious if anyone has had experience with the Romeo Engineering carpets. He says his are the only ones with the IMCO imprint on the viny dimmer pad as the originals because he made the originals.
Thanks.

When I do get my carpet ordered for the C3 I'm getting Romeo. I've tried other brands and ended up returning them because of lousy quality and lousy imitation of the original carpet. The IMCo logo is a bit more pronounced than the originals, but it is the only brand with it that I'm aware of. ~Juliet

Juliet's 100% correct about Romeo. NICE carpet. I've got their product in my 69. The only problem is that SOME people have experienced delivery/fabrication delays. I think that Romeo is a "mom and pop" operation, not a huge manufacturing company. Even calling them and trying to place an order can be an adventure. Chuck

I have had occassion to install carpets from the Big supplier(don't won't to mention names) several times and the fabric pills and fuzzes, fades and absorbs every stain they're exposed to. Was looking for a different source and came across Romeo. Thanks for the above feedback. I intend to try them the next time.

The IMCo logo is in the wrong place. Should be on the right/gas foot heel pad and not the bright light/left button foot side. Atleast according to the TIM/JG for 1970.

Last carpet I installed was 80/20 Loop in my 65 and I used Auto Custom Carpet (ACC) from Top Flight Automotive (Corvette America) and the Fit, Form and Function was very good.

They have probably made changes in the twenty years since this was posted?

This was just taken from their website showing the IMCo logo in the wrong place. I have sent an inquiry to them asking where the logo is placed. Maybe this image taken from their website is an old image.
