69 coupe. So who is good for carpet sets? Price/quality/shipping/service. Mustangs Plus? the Paddock? Im turned off by YearOne cause they make you pay for a catalogue.

Never ordered interior stuff before. I'll probly go with cheaper between mustangsplus or paddock and hope for the best.

they all sell the same (molded) brand, Auto Custom Carpet. So pretty whoever you buy from, you are getting the same set. For our current project, we went directly to Auto Custom Carpet and ordered their Mass Backed carpet, much heavier quality and great fit. It is stiffer and a little more work to put in but quality is excellent. We also preferred the cut pile version instead of the loop.
 
I have the same carpet too, but I haven't installed it yet. I usually use CJ pony parts, Laurel Mountain, NPD or Mustangs Unlimited. I find Mustangs Plus and Paddock to be a little on the high side. Dallas Mustangs is having a sale right now.
 
If you want a carpet that you don't have to re-dye all the time, look at Trim Parts - Home. They make cut-pile carpet (like a modern car) that will last a long time.

I just got mine installed and am very pleased. Carpet may not be as cheap as the other Mustang parts houses, but it is very nice quality. Now I just need to get another sheet so I can do my trunk!

Be forewarned, you will need to do some work with a heatgun and adhesive (maybe more than "Mustang" carpets). I paid an interior shop to do mine and it turned out pretty good.
