$25.00!!! Can barely walk in the door for that here--even 10 yrs ago. Wish I could find it locally but checking 3 shops, they all have the same sample page from the wholesaler. Cheap looking loop which is what's in the car now and a thin cut pile but the charcoal on both is too light for my liking.

I believe someone mentioned on an earlier post the original was cut nylon pile in the seniors, loop in the Exec and juniors. Hirsch sent a sample that I think may be close in color but not identified as to nylon or ?? and not sure of texture compared to what should be. Just has a number on the back and for some reason, not one of those mentioned or shown on his website so no other info on it yet. It's nice and could live with it but would like to have another option. Suspect the repro bulk will be megabux like the sewn set though. Have to decide whether a non original car that hardly leaves the garage needs a high priced carpet.
