 I used ACC and Al Knock in my 80'  They are both a Little Diffrent but I'm not going to say one is Better than another. The Al Knock probably is better for a NCRS Restoration but the ACC might look a bit Better. Either one will work Good. Richard........

Most of the Corvette parts houses have complete sets. Ebay is also a good source. You can search Ebay from the C3VR website. Click on the shopping tab at the top of the page. Then click on Ebay, then interior, and finally carpet. By the way, when you are ready to install the carpet
pick a nice warm day and lay the carpet in the driveway for an hour or two. It really softens it up and makes for a much tighter and neater fit. Hope this helps.

Get a loop carpet for durability over the cut-pile stuff.

Al Knoch Interiors has a great reputation and will offer a bunch of help on the phone.

I'm a member of the NCOA and they have a carpet "special" that is NCRS & Bloomington Gold approved for Vette Restoration.  For an '80 carpet runs at $458.88 Retail and the NCOA Price is $271.00That's the best price I have seen on carpet. Big%20smile

Vette(s): 1st vette, my dream car. 1978 coupe with T-tops silver with spoilers front and back
I checked all the usuall sources and found the best price at Wilcox.  When it arrived it came in ACC boxes and so far looks to be a perfect match. ( Its not in yet but comparing the old as I take it out and laying it over the new it seems to be identical).
