While I haven't seen nor installed the Vanagon Carpet Sets they offer, I
have installed one of their Karmann Ghia sets in my 73 Coupe.  Quality
overall is very good in proper cuts and binding of exposed edges with one
caveat about the Cut Pile material - it seems to me that it is fairly light
weight in substance (TMI's is about the same quality) compared with the
offering from Sewfine, which is a denser, fuller body (what is this, a
shampoo commercial? ;) ) durable and heavier duty of carpet material.  If I
do my carpets someday on Ole Putt, I will go with Sewfine as I'm very
satisfied with their products.

or call and talk to Carol @ Sewfine 800 739 3463.  She's great to deal with.
