Question Carpet replacement.

In California or Nevada (don't care where in those states) does anyone know of a good upholstery shop? I bought one of those kits from a San Diego company that advertises Porsche kits and what a huge waist of money. This kit was cut so bad I had to take it to a shop to figure out the pieces I did not have in. Anyways I am looking for a shop that knows how the carpet should go into these cars to include the padding. My carpet looks like a runway model showing all bones and no meat. My only other option that I can think of is to call parts heaven and have them ship me down a good carpet set out of a wreck but you never know what you are going to get.

mid america motorworks (mamotorworks.com) and 9xauto.com both make kits for our cars that are cut to fit right. I've always heard good things about them.

this is the way to go...buy some good used pieces from a parts car...initially it seems like it will take forever but in the end the fit and finish can't be beat. I looked at all the carpet sets out on the market and am so glad I was patient with finding some great pieces from several different cars here on the list and ebay

the factory stuff is sooooo easy to install!

IMHO of course

U-30AT I think is right on the money, I am planning to drive up to parts heaven and take a day looking at what they have.
