Question full carpet set for 1980 SC?

I am going crazy trying to find an honest seller that has carpets for the 1980 SC.

Found some joker online on Ebay, that were selling cheap imitations; good thing that i always use paypal so I was saved from a decent loss.

So far i just purchased the floor mats from our host, and they looks pretty good (the passenger side thou doesn't fit at all; i have it in a non conventional position); but now I would like to strip down the old carpet and put a new one.

Can anyone give me some reviews and honest opinions about carpet set sellers? I don't mind if they are exactly the same as the original, since i am not doing restoring, but I would like to have something that is a good fit for the car, that does not need patching or tweaking because the size is wrong, and that is good material that actually last more than a year or two

My constant lack of funds makes me skip any shop to do the job (last request was 3.6K for the whole carpet set installation, and from what the guy said, most of it is the cost of the carpet); so I gotta do it on my own if i wanna have it done and save money (HAve seen other posts here regarding installation of carpet and does not seems a hard job; it just requires patience and precision once you start to glue, and most of all needs a good cleanup before installing the new carpet).

Anyone can suggest a reliable place where to get carpets? My model is 1980 SC Targa, hopefully it is not too different from the regular coupe set

Thanks!
