Default Carpet kit - Polyester vs sliverknit

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a complete carpet kit (not the 4 pieces but full kit with door panels). There seem to be 2 quality as per the link below : Polyester 400$ and sliverknit 800$.

Is the extra money for sliverknit worth it? Will I regret if I install the Polyester?

Do you have any recommandation where I can buy the kit in USA or Canada?

Thanks!

app biz offers both, I was told by the owner that silverknit is the material that most resembles the oem carpet. If I recall he said its a more plush material that looks and feels better.

I have yet to buy mine so I cant give anymore input than this.
I have inquired though. Its next on my list.

Silverknit will give you that factory look and feel. I considered polyester, but didn't think I would be happy in the long run. I ordered an RS kit from Lakewell,and I have been very pleased. I went with RS so I could get a contrasting color for the edges.

I bought an app biz front carpet kit for my 87 M491 cab and was extremely satisfied with fit and finish of the kit.
