Question Molded Carpet Kit Question

I am getting ready to order a new molded carpet for my 72. Is it all basically the same from one place to another? I know I've seen the prices sticking around $100 bucks. Also, I have a red Carpet kit that came with my truck which is basically new, I will give a deal on.......! Thanks

Bought mine from LMC and was not happy at all with overall quality and fit. Has faded terribly,too. Don't know who is a good company to go with. I'd like some suggestions myself.

Forgot to mention, I've seen some guy's trucks where the carpet molds nice and tight and high up into the firewall, snug on the tranny hump. The wheel wells for the Blaze were supposed to be molded, but weren't. There's got to be better quality ones out there.

I got a NPI carpet and it's very nice!. I won it on ebay for $41+ $9 shipping, couldn't pass that up.

I got a kit from Classic Heartbeat for my '72 Burb. Complete front to back. It fit good and looks great. It tucks up nice and high on the firewall.

Man I wish I could say the carpet I bought fits and looks great -- but I can't install it until the truck comes back from the paint and body shop.

Anyway, I bought a kit from C.A.R.S Inc. It looks great (at least in the box) - it's molded, one piece correct 80/20 weave with heel pad, binding and jute underlay attached and new dimmer switch grommet included. And it was only $99.
