The original if it's even REMOTELY presentable; I agree with the poster that said the repops are trash.......that's actually being kind IMO. Dave

Really? You THINK? I'm kinda guessing I KNOW it would because correct fitting ones are so hard to find. Just like a flat laying carpet. Hmmmm....now who came up with a solution to that one also?

years ago, I bought a tan one to replace my original tan plaid in my 69 charger< it only had a tear in it, so i threw the original out, I cant believe i did that, does anyone even make a tan plaid one anymore? all I see are grey. should have kept my original.
These guys make the tan plain as would be in the '69 Chargers, but it is in the heavy vinyl. It is in bulk, so one has to use the original for a pattern....

Hi everyone,
We've had this one on the radar scope and are now doing feasibility studies. We'll have more room at the shop now that RPM manufacturing is going off site to our additional facility we just acquired.
What's everyones thoughts on the most popular models to start with?
Also Charlie tells me that the order for Carpet will most likely be placed on Tuesday - last call !
We'll update you as this moves along. First I have to move the RPM materials and equipment to the facility once they have finished the last details on the interior.
Tom

What would you use on a fresh resto? a repop or a presentable original with a few stains and whatnot..
None of the above, the only things those are good for are trapping moisture and creating rust....
If you were going to use it sparingly however when you show the car and take it out, and the car is freshly restored, I would use a correct appearing repro.
