1A Automotive Carpet?

[Cory_Langford at bcit.ca (Cory Langford)]

anyone ever install a set for fitment?  I looked at 
http://www.stockinteriors.com/ before, but decided not to order because 
they list the carpet fitting from '78-84.  I know I installed an '83 
carpet in the '78 and it does not fit.  Close but you can really tell it 
is not fitting around the shifter area..

Jeff,
I am aware of two places that carry carpet for our cars that are molded.
Here they are:
http://www.stockinteriors.com/
http://www.accmats.com/products/molded_carpet/moldedcarpet.htm
I have no experience with either, but Tony Pelletier purchased one from
accmats and was very happy with it.  He did have to cut holes for the
shifter, etc.
Stockinteriors looks good, with floor mats, padding and carpeting for
the trunk also available. No idea on the cutting, but I suspect it will 
need
to be cut like all the others.
