Interior Suppliers
Not including the weak advertisers on this site, and Next generation, does anyone know of any interior suppliers for third gens? The preface to the first sentence was not meant to be a slam, thewy just have limited parts. I'm looking for passenger carpet for my 1992 Camaro.

i know this is off-topic but i saw in ur sig that u have a 5.8L mated to a 5spd. 2 Q's
- is it really a 5.8L ? I know my friend's bronco (oops i mean OJ mobile ) came with a factory 5.8L but i thought 5.7L was the biggest stock engine GM gave our cars ?
-be it 5.7 or 5.8, how well does it do with that 5 spd? is it the tremec T-5 that came stock with the 305 engine ?

THnaks guys for the input, but I am aware of all of your suggestions. Is their any other suppliers out there?
My 5.8 is a 5.7 bored to 5.8, it was approximately bored 40 thousandths. It's like 357 c.i.
As far as it mating to the WC T-5, wht would there be any problems unless you really thought I had a ford engine in my Chevy??????

I got my carpet from The Paddock about two years ago. Everything seems to always be on "back-order" when you deal with them. I believe ACC (auto custom carpets?) makes all of the carpets no matter what vendor (Year One, Next Generation, Classic Industries...) you choose to order from.
The only thing I noticed with mine is that the repro carpet was a little less "plush" than the GM original cut pile. Also, the rubber padding on the original GM carpet is a little thicker too.
The ACC reproduction carpet does come with an original style (drivers-side) plastisol heel and toe pad that most "uphostery shop" made carpets won't have.
