Just bought mine form a German company on e-Bay. They were one of the few companies that had the original, german velore, material and the price was a couple hundred dollars cheaper then anyone else I found. No one else bid on the carpet and it arrived exactly as advertised

AFIK, no one has put together a really good list of carpet styles, quality and application. I'll start only to expect some improvement by others that know their carpet.
Squareweave: Older 356 and VW looped carpet of high quality that has a mini checkerborad look. Also used on early 911s Perlon: Thinner, more felt like, better than trunk carpet, but of the same varity. Velour: A factory plush, thick and soft cut pile. Expensive and a factory option. Lots of real wool. Wool Wilton or Haargarn: A high quality cut loop made from wool and synthetics. Silverknit: Similar to Haargarn, used today. Domestic Cut Pile: Not a loop carpet (which has a nubby appearance), but where the loops are cut for a butch haircut look. Usually all synthetic and not as much per square inch count as imported carpet. Please make your corrections to the list. |

Is it sil verknit or sli verkint? I see both various places.
And which of the above is the black and silvery looking fibers that looks gray from a distance? Also, can we say that certain ones are cheapo and others always a premium carpet?

This didn't get very far. I think I'm wrong on at least one item. The later early 911's had a loop style carpet. Pretty rugged stuff. |

Might do better on Early 911S forum. A lot of the folks here are carpet ripper-outers.
