Need advice on new carpet!!!
« on: February 28, 2011 - 09:47:09 PM »
Hey guys,

I am getting ready to replace the carpeting in my 71 Chally and I know this topic has been discussed many times.  I have searched the site and read numerous postings.  I now feel more confused than ever about the type and who to purchase the carpet from.  I have read about the durability issues of 80/20 loop (fading) vs the high cutpile type. 

Can you guys just provide your experiences of these carpets and some sources to purchase from?  Is the package in a small box versus a flat box really a big deal? 

Thanks....

Can't really give you much advice other than to say I just ordered my new carpet along with padding from Dante's Interiors as well as FatMat from one of the eBay sellers.

Thanks Challengermaniac,

I am still curious though......I have read where the 80/20 loop does not hold up as well (mats down and fades) as the cutpile (even though the cutpile is not the correct style for a 71 Challenger). 

Just looking for experiences and suggested places to order from.

Thanks
