Carpet - 1982 CHP restoration
For those of you with 1982 CHP Mustangs, have you picked out which carpet is a correct OEM color replacement? I want to replace mine this summer and could use some suggestions since there are several tans to choose from. Thanks in advance.
Greg

Package tray sample material
Also, take a look at this sample for a package tray material that Nicole from Fox Mustang Restoration found for me. I sent her a sample from the bottom edge of mine, about all that is salvageable. The board and the top surface are trashed.
This feels like a flexible rubbery material. The original looks like cheese cloth with a very similar pattern. Their price is on the letter and I later called and spoke with Matt - even though this is a special order, he said he would honor the 10% SSMNET discount code. They are really a super group of people and are willing to help us out wherever they can. Greg

So would they be making the package tray or just providing the material?
Mine has had speaker holes cut in it and it was wrapped in vinyl, at some point.

Take out the old one and use it as a pattern and cut out another one from thin particle board and wrap it with the material that comes from SMS. I thought that SMS only provide material no? Similarly with the headliner. I've actually found the same foam like headliner fabric at Jo-Ann Fabrics believe it or not, just not the variety of colors like SMS has.

Not sure where this material sample came from. They would make the package tray for us using this material or any other one we choose. That price is for a complete product ready to install.
My package tray is the same...two large holes cut for speakers and it was covered in vinyl. I was shocked when I uncovered it to find the original still there, though as flimsy as a wet piece of paper. I didn't know SMS had the package tray and headliner material. If that's the case...I need to contact them. What about carpet? Anyone?

I thought the 82 had a vinyl headliner? Stock interiors supposedly has the vinyl headliner, I don't know how accurate it is.

Our color for 1982 is French Vanilla which is lighter and more "creamy" than the chamois and tan shown.
Never heard of Stock Interiors. Thanks for the link. Keep the comments and ideas coming.

OK, Mike sent me a sample from his package tray. His is a little darker than mine, both original. His is top left and mine is top right and then a longer strip on the bottom is something I found stuck along the back passenger corner edge after removing my package tray.
Compare these to the sample I scanned from Fox Mustang Restoration. Not sure where they found theirs. You can definitely see a weave pattern in all of them. SMS did not have a package tray selection when I got samples from them. I have yet to call them. What do you think? The FMR sample doesn't feel like cloth. But it's a close match from a distance. Oh, the Mike with the prototype sent me photos of his in black...and it's the same weave pattern. I'll find those pics and post one next.

Greg,
I think yours is just faded.
