ANTHONY,

I have bought mine from Tru-Fit in Dandenong and they fit fine, leave them in the sun for a while to soften before installing and much easier to work with. A few friends have got them from there as well with no compalints. I went past the factory last week that they were in in Cheltenham road and saw they have moved but not sure where.

Definitely Tru-fit mate, they also have the best prices easily, from memory they are $105 for loop, $118 for plush and $135 for super plush. If you look at other places they're almost twice as expensive, plus they have a store in coburg as well.

Knox Auto Carpets do front and rear plush pile for $125 or $150 delivered. Loop pile is $115 or $140 delivered. They have something called "Super Plush" and that's $160, and they also have "XTreme" for $200. Under felt is $30 front and rear, sound insulation felt is $90 front and rear, and you can buy extra carpet by the metre for parcel shelves and stuff, and they make boot carpets.

you must own the shop do you ....

i cant remember if it was Knox or Tru Fit that made the carpets in my XB , i bought them at the summernatts about 13 / 14 years ago and they are still looking great, no fading or wear marks except for a heal mark in the removable drivers mat.

mine are the super plush type.

Thanks guys.I'll check them all out.

Nah no association with Knox, just know they've been around for ages and the owner has a thing for Ford GT's so it'd probably be the best place to go.

Go Knox, I am from Adelaide and have recently been to melb, they did them while I waited and were perfect for my XT wagon

Interesting thread, but out of these two places, which version of these carpets is the correct style/type to fit in a gen GT to keep it lookin right? Must look period correct.

the originals would have been loop pile.

the replacements i got are long plush pile, helps with the raod sound reduction and thought it might keep it warmer when i was living down south.
