Plush is Domestic nylon punch carpet, not up to Porsche quality IMO. A Pelican friend
of mine put in the Appbiz plush RS kit and is now upgrading to Sliverknit (correct spelling).
Sliverknit is the ultra fine filament plush that came stock in late '70s and all '80s 911s.
I bought a Sliverknit carpet set from these folks in Belgium, fantastic quality. They offer the RS set for an upgrade price, plus, you can get any color you want. Given the strong dollar
(1Euro=$1.06 currently) I found even with shipping from Europe (I think it was $46)
I received the highest quality product cheaper than any source I found in the US.
Took three weeks to deliver.
