I ordered a complete kit at original parts group (OPGI). OPGI charged me for the whole amount u$s 304.00. After 10 days They sent everything except for the carpet!!!! After 25(twenty five) days, I made the third call to find out what was wrong, they told me it was gonna take an extra 10 days, so I canceled the order. Bought the carpet today from Stockinteriors.com, paid u$s 124. Let's see if they keep the 2 business day delivery promise... Good Luck

i have heard enough complaints about OPG on other car forums that i doubt i would ever buy anything from them. i have had luck with 1A on ebay for floor mats, but have never tried their carpets. the price looks good. _________________ Rob Tabish

Carpet fit almost perfect. The color looks nice. The thing that goes underneat the carpet was a little bit hard to install and it didnt fit perfect. I hope that sits right with time and weight. I had to made some cuts in the carpet in order to screw the safety belts and seat on the floor. If you wanna see pics, check this. http://s69.photobucket.com/albums/i47/miahuracan/

I was checking out your pictures of your installation and I notice that your padding was seperate from your carpet. The one I was looking at for my Monte Carlo says that the pad is bonded to the carpet. Did you get the Plush cut pile or the Ultra Plush cut pile? It looks real good. I ordered some carpet samples from them today.
I was also looking at there Complete kits for the El Camino I think when I get ready to do my Elcamino I will go with the kit and refresh every thing.

Has anyone bought & installed a carpet from stockinteriors.com?
I requested color samples and received them very promply. I found a color thet matched my interior but I did not like the plush cut pile so I have ordered a sample of the ultra plus carpet.
They claim to be premolded & made to order so they don't get all out of shape being in a box for a long time. _________________ 1984 Elcamino SS

Got mine from Stock Interiors today. It's the ultra plush with the mass backing. Looks good. Is spread out on the living room floor at the moment(wife is NOT happy) to eliminate creases which do not appear to be too bad. Installation is next. That is when the pain in my hip allows. IT's a b***h getting old but better than the alternative!!
