I need a new carpet for my Comet. Got samples from Autokrafters and found the right color, but the length of the threads in the sample is much shorter 3/16" than original carpet which has approx 3/8" long threads. Has anybody bought a cut pile carpet from Autokrafters? The carpet costs around $150 + shipping. Where can I find good quality cut pile carpet?
Are you sure, the carpet sure looks original, it is molded to the shape of the floor and is so old and rotten that I can tear it with my fingers like paper. Is it possible that cut pile is a part of the Luxury Decor Option (trimcode PU)?
LDO was SHAG CUT PILE ... you didn't mention it was an LDO ... ... I have tried to locate LDO Shag carpet and it is not available new .... if you do find a place do buy Maverick Molded LDO style Shag ... please post it here and let us know ...

Interesting ... is custom-tailored the same as molded? Edit: http://www.newark-auto.com/2003car.htm Custom-Tailored is sewn to fit ... not molded. Still looks like a possibility for LDO restorations. I think one of you guys should order one and see how it looks!
