Marty,
I bought my carpets from TRF and am quite satisfied with the quality and
fit. I bought the moulded kit (not the economy). They were backed with
a good quality foam rubber and did not require any floor insulation.
However, beware of "out-of-stock" items. It may be several months
before it comes in. In the case of Interior items, apparantly the
manufacturers wait until they have enough orders to warrent them doing a
run of a particular item. That was the case with the seat covers I
ordered from TRF. Eight months later, I cancelled the order and got
them from British Parts Northwest. I got them the next day and saved
myself twenty-five dollars.
Good Luck!
