Default C3 carpet replacement

I’m going to be starting the next phase of my 79’ resto/mod , interior improvements. Wondering if anyone has any experience replacing the carpet. I’ve been looking at carpet sets from Ecklers, Mid America motorworks, and ACC. It looks to me that both Ecklers and Mid America get their carpet sets from ACC, and the price is better from the before mentioned corvette parts catalogs.
Any words of wisdom/experience would be greatly appreciated

​​​​​​ Happy motoring !

You will need a heat gun to soften and get the pre-molded carpet to fit in the corners.
