Really disappointed in the quality of this carpet kit. Not sure if I had too high of expectations—has anyone else used these? What is a good carpet kit you would recommend instead?

The crap I pulled out was never going to get clean. So, I've gone from crap to decent. I can't say that I'm thrilled. I feel like it is comparable to level of junk they put in these cars originally. I'm certain an upgrade in price would elicit a better product. I waited over a year for 914Rubber to have carpet kits back in stock and they never appear in the color I needed. Or if they did they sold out in an hour. |

The German stuff is the expensive stuff, and I think they all use the same supplier. Which one did you order? |

I got the "Perlon Felt OEM-Style Porsche Material" decided it wasn't worth shipping back and dealing with the hassle... doesn't fit all that badly but there are random gaps and things. my car is a daily beater so it doesn't bother me all that much |
