TRF's best OEM nylon is ideal, likely better quality and fit than
original with accurate edge color/pattern, boot color/pattern.
TRF's wool is identical to the above except a beautiful wool
(see comment below)
VB's best OE nylon fits well, likely the same quality as original,
though the edge color/pattern and boot color/pattern are not perfect.
(for instance the boot on the brown carpet kit is black, where TRF's
carpet uses a brown boot per the original) Slightly thinner than
the TRF above.
The VB OE kit with underpads and all clips is hard to beat for anything
except a show car. Once again, the underpad isn't quite correct or as
thick as the TRF one. I'd pay $20-$40 for the TRF combo just to be
perfect, but if its out of stock or any more price difference, the VB
kit works great. I would NOT buy the cheaper VB kits.
NOTE: I ran the wool in one car and saw the same results as the
original owners of the early TR6's reported... fast wear
(sunglasses wore a hole in it) and discoloration over a
couple of years of daily driving. I would NOT buy the wool
again for anything but a trailer queen, believe it was only
original on the early cars anyway.
