Default Carpet Kit - Need Recommendations

Hi all,

I'm going to install a new carpet kit and I'm looking at the following:

Lakewell:
http://www.lakewell.com/en/porsche/9...sche-911-84-89

Pelican - Domestic Cut Pile:
https://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog..._pg2.htm#item6

Would love to get some feedback from those who have had experience doing a self install of either kit.

thanks!

Jim

I haven't used pelicans carpet kits
but I have used lakewells

Their seats and b pillars

Lakewell I highly recomend.

I can also recomend
Bob budd classic 9 leather shop. He made some custom carpets for me. Excellent as well

Lakewell is in Belgium I believe so shipping was not cheap

Self install is not hard btw

while interior has to come out . good time to coat the floor, clean up wires speakers ect. Inspect the seats if their power.

Just becareful glueing the door pocket carpets

Classic9 ++

you may also want to consider Tony @ Autobaun

lakewell is great , but you face shipping, euro exchange and fee if your CC does not offer US dollar free exchange.

I just ordered German square weave from Autobaun after getting some samples from a couple places. Dont have it yet so cant speak to the final result but might be worth throwing in for consideration.

Nice, I had a 80 SC black Targa, now I am trying to get my 2003 C4S recarpeted with the square weave. I spoke with Tony he doesn't have the pattern. He is willing to do it from scratch, but I need to bring the car in. I live in WA State so I'll keep looking. Thank you
