Need carpets and saw this on flee bay and was wondering if anyone had ever ordered from them or others and what the quality was like.

I can't comment on those, but having pulled all the carpets out of my car, there's nothing complicated about them - they're not moulded or anything.
So I reckon I can make a set myself, using the old carpet as templates - I can get enough decent quality carpet (80/20 wool) to do the job for about £50 ($100 or so?), and a couple of hours with a pair of scissors and a needle & thread should do it.

And then there's the advantage that you can have any colour you like - if you wanted to, I guess you could have a nice flowery carpet in there! [:p]

Just something to think about.

I've replaced my carpet with one purchased from this guy. While the old carpet comes out in one piece, the new one comes in many different pieces with no directions. After a couple hours of trial fits and trimming, I was able to piece it together into a reasonable fashion, then I went about with the spray adhesive and secured all the pieces. While not of the same quality as the original, it made the interior look 100% better than it did with the old carpet.

There was an extensive thread about this topic, do a search for it. There is also a "Carpet Laying" article that came in real handy, it is posted on this site. Don't forget to buy a roll of insulation and secure it to the floorboards and fire wall to keep the engine heat out of the cockpit.
