Default WTB Blue Sliverknit

Hello all,

Can anybody assist with a source for the dark blue sliver knit carpet that was common in our cars in the 1980s. I have been told by my local sources that the carpet they source is roughly half the thickness of the black carpet. As such it won't match the rest of the carpet in the car. My plan is to just change the four carpet mats. I will reuse the factory rubber mat. The rest of my carpets are in very good order. I can get a complete carpet set for around $750 but that is a bit rich for 4 mats. I approached one seller in the USA but never received a reply.

Anybody got an helpful ideas?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Nicole, that's who I tried but didn't get a response. Unless they are away or have a problem with their website?

Check your spam folder. I got an immediate reply on a recent inquiry but it went straight to my spam folder and un-noticed for a couple of weeks..

Hi Nicole,

Thank you, just made contact now just need to sort out whether all new sliverknit is made thinner than the original. If it is I will leave the mats how they are. I am selling the car and new mats were the icing on the cake so to speak.
