Now I notice that Knox lists two different types of loop pile carpet?
This one for $130 F/R

And this type for $280.....!!!!

Why the big difference in price? How different do the carpets look?

Apart from lying nearly naked on mine (plush) in ' 85 (good times) it's a total b!tch to keep clean...
Stick with loop & you'll be happy as

Supposedly an exact reproduction of the materials used during the 60's and 70's, ie 80% rayon and 20% nylon as apposed to acrylic
The say that it is alot harder wearing and feels and looks like the original manufacturer carpets did

DO NOT get cut / plush pile !

It wasn't that bad to fit and as for keeping it clean , it probably would be if I drove it to work wearing dirty workboots everyday. My car is spotless , I drive it then I make it spotless again and it then goes to sleep in my garage. I don't think Brad will be hooking up the trailer , throwing on the gum boots n doing to many tip runs in his soon to be shmick SLR .... Lol

You will go blind doing that, or were you accompanied when you were half naked?Apart from lying nearly naked on mine (plush) in ' 85 (good times) it's a total b!tch to keep clean...
People think it is cool not to post stuff these days. If we maintain that approach, it's going to make the forum pretty interesting!!! Others think it is useful to state their personal opinion or view and add little of substance.
Loop pile is definitely longer lasting, and cheaper. Most cars come out with it standard due to its hard wearing qualities, although the cut and plush pile are considered more luxurious (money no object).

I prefer the cut/plush myself for feel
The common loops was much finer than the new stuff
I felt it was too course and I'm not a fan... especially at twice the price
Gte them to post you a sample of each... in the colour you want first

The man from Knox talked me out of the dearer stuff because it suited early Monaros & LC,LJ Toranas but not
my LX. I think your LH may be the same. Ring him, he is very helpfull.

The original carpets with the rayon did seem to last a lot better than all the aftermarket carpets I have seen.
