I got mine for my Camaro from Classic Industries. It fit fine, needed to cut out more for the shifter and some holes for the various bolts and such in the floorboard but was really easy. No matter which company you go with, make sure you take the carpet out so it doesn't stay folded up inside the box. My carpet was hard to put in since i had the carpet inside the box for a few months.

Let me know how it is when you get it. I will be buying shortly. I am planning on Hawks also. So let me know how the quality is. Did you get it with the console cutout or without

what's your thread count of all of the products your getting. standard is 800 or so which is your typical acc carpet. i've never seen what jim sells, would love to get a sample though of the highest thread count.

acc supplies most of the companies. last time i bought a set though it was around $340 complete direct from acc for their deluxe or 1,000 thread count.

Also is there extra for the sides of the console or the bottom of the doors?

Because of the reviews about Hawks, started to wonder about order. Checked CC and no charges had been added. E mailed Hawks with no response and called and left number. No return call, and phone says busy call back. Left message to cancel order. As soon as I can get response will order thru company that returns calls.
