Hey Guys!

I hope all is well with you. Does anyone know where to purchase the best (quality/fitting) molded carpet for our interior? Mustangs Unlimited requires much trimming and there are MANY other companies out there.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Best,

Barry

I had good result's with Paddock 110 dollars. Get it out of the box a few days to re
shape it........kick it around a day or two in the car to check things......and remember
measure 3 times cut 1 time.....

I second this. I bough mine from Late Model Resto for $109 and it was fine.

That looks like exactly the color I need... what's the offical color name from Late Model Resto?

Also, I remember from replacing some in my Camaro way back that the replacement didn't have as thick or any padding as the OEM did. Is this the case with the replacements you all have had or are they comparable from these companies?

The color of our (FHP) interrior is Sand or Buckskin. The padding is not as thick as the OE carpet but its not bad.

If the OE padding is still in good shape, you can do like I did and pull it off the original carpeting and use it instead of the flimsy aftermarket padding that usually comes with replacement carpet.
