Who did you buy your OEM carpet from?

The leather swap looks good.

To put the new one in you will have to cut and trim, took me at least 10 hours including seat and trim removal and re-installation. They give you about 3 feet extra carpet on each dimension, so you can't really eyeball how much to cut off. Therefore installing it is a process of trial and error.

I think you saw it at the Valley Forge meet. It looks good but its crap quality.

Which color of carpet did you use from stock interiors and did you get the "plush"

) carpet from them?
