it depends on what your looking for, some get the year one stuff if they use their car a lot for normal driving, others go with Ozite or something similar, I actually went to a craft store and bought a few yards of a felt that looks similar to the factory carpet but lighter then Ozite and when I get the car back from the shop installing my cage I will be installing it...

Ok cool,

Dream LS1 I found a lot more info here
https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...-carpet-3.html
I talked to the dude at speedinc. about them and he said the one they used to sell was good years ago, then they got sent a batch that sucked. But know found the old styles that fit great, that there selling now. So you don't have to worry about the guys saying there sucked. I got mine a few weeks ago. But start at the back, and beofre you go to put it in the car if you still have the Ebrake and shifter like I had I cut a slit were the Ebrake should be. and a X for the shifter. And ended up after fitting it, wioth like a 5x5 hole for the base of ther M6 boot. And a had to cut a U about a foot back so it fit under the tabs the concel bolts too, and lays down in the foot wells. I spread it out for a day before, and put it in the sun but it got dark when I went to intall it.

One word of advice. If it is non-molded carpet that you have to cut and lay yourself..... its a B!tch!

I am doing it right now, and I can't tell you how much of a headache it is.
