Silverknit Carpet Replacement?
My carpet is tired and in need of replacement. Would like to go with OEM Silverknit replacment kit. Recommendations? Anyone have any experience with this supplier's carpet kits?
Preliminary search indicates good reputation and quality products/work. Looks like they do leather dash recovers too and repair dash warp in the process (on my wish list as mine is faded warped and has some cracks) Classic 9 Leather Shop Automotive Carpet Sets Thanks

A lot of the 356 guys (including professional restorers) swear by Autos International; I've personally used World Upholstery and found them to be fair, prompt and a good product. My suspicion is that most of these suppliers are using carpet material from the same manufacturer, so it really comes down to a matter of customer service and price.

Classic 9 leather
Hey Mark,
You and I have communicated in the past about 911 air conditioning strategies. Robert at Classic 9 Leather does outstanding work--the best I have ever seen. He is patient and helpful in talking through options and costs. He is presently doing my 911 and has sent me finished pieces. I will be taking my car out to him in a few weeks to finish everything. Cordially, Greg

BTW, it's sliverknit not silverknit. Might help in your searches.

I used World Upholstery's German carpet kit for my 911SC Targa, everything was perfect, it takes some time to install but well worth the effort. Besides, you can get a nice drive to Santa Paula, CA where they are located, just east of Ventura off the 126
