I researched this several years ago and found most recommendations at the time were for ACC (Auto Custom Carpets) stock replacement, 2-piece. Ended up buying the dark blue loop pile version during a 30% off weekend sale, but haven't fitted it yet. Looked great when I checked it on delivery though.
Interested in what others recommend now, as some reproductions improve and there may be a new standout....

I haven't bought a carpet set in decades, but the only thing I can say is, make sure it is slit or you slit it under the front seats. Most people end up bolting the seat tracks through the carpet and not to the floor directly.

----While there are many places selling carpet sets, most are buying from ACC. Generally, I'm OK with ACC's stuff. There are other manufacturer's, but I've lost track of them all. I know this doesn't help but it's all I've got. I have found that after installation ACC's carpet generally has too much fuzz. Took care of that with judicious use of a good commercial heat gun. Warren is totally correct. If you have the original carpet use it to cut the slits correctly. If you don't, find a car with original carpet and copy it. Nothing worse than seats just bolted down right over the top. I see it all the time!.....Bill S
