Did our CST Blazers come from the factory with carpet installed on the rear wheel well housings?

No. But all of the aftermarket carpet kits include these pieces.

Does anyone have any suggestions on who offers the best carpet. I am getting ready to get some for mine! thanks

On a related note, I found the carpet made installing the reproduction rear panels difficult as the clearance was tight and seemingly didn't accommodate the added width of the carpet. I got them on but would have been easier without wheel well carpet (and if I had removed the top). The repro panels make use of a melamine-like hard backing rather than cardboard like original panels have so have less flex.

I ran into this also. My solution was to carefully remove the upholstery from the original panels and make new ones that were slightly smaller. I trimmed a half inch from the bottoms of the new ones and then re-adhered the covers with 3M Weatherstrip adhesive. Now they fit great.

My side panels are coming from Truck world and should have been trimed to facilitate the carpet thickness.
