You are right: "Crap" is technically and politically incorrect; what I received was not the quality I thought it would be. And I need to add that my experience was many years ago, and I certainly hope that things have changed. The new photos don't really show that, but if you're happy, that's cool.
My point wasn't to write in to "trash" Mr. Souter, and still isn't. I have no doubt Gord is a fine fellow, genial and helpful. I do not know the man, and have no personal animosity. And you've had great experiences. Good! But I didn't. I only bought one Complete Interior Kit and was not happy with the quality of the products. I called and was not happy with the answers.
But instead of being curious about why we've had different experiences, I am being attacked. My experience is called "%^%&&%$!##@." Really? I wasn't a happy customer so I'm making this up? Why would I make this up?
Can't have real carpet? My Amphicar still had the carpets it came with from the factory. They were soaked with three decades of goo and pretty shabby and worn, and I wasn't looking for less sturdy material. Amphicars came with actual wool carpet that was shaped to properly fit the wheel well intrusions, like most cars of the era. "Originality" isn't important to everyone. Good thing! I'm glad, because we have Amphilimosines, Finzilla, and many more. But that's not the point. Whatever the virtues of various materials, what was delivered isn't carpet. I don't think it's right to advertise felt mat as carpet, but Gord disagreed ("That IS carpet!"). Whatever, just not in my house.
Maybe if I'd asked for guidance? Well, I did. If I couldn't get the pieces to fit, it must have been my incompetence? Well, at the time, I thought it must be; so I took it to a very good interior shop recommended by a friend who did Porsche restorations for a living. The next day, he called me with a problem: the reason I couldn't get things to fit is because the seats covers were smaller than the original unmodified frames. Maybe it would help to post my photos of that.
Just call again? Of course I called! Gord told me that the cars dimensions varied, that even the seats vary. And that's true. But what should I do? Well, he sold it at a fair price, and everyone else really likes his products. And with the variations in exchange rates, he wasn't making money on it anyway. End of discussion. I salvaged what little I could use, learned a lot, and what the hell, it's not the first $1000 (or last) down the drain. So that was it.
Well, it was, until I dared to say that what I got was crap quality. That doesn't match your experience? I'm glad! We can disagree, but we all get to share our experiences, not just the "nice" ones. I really do hope that my experience was in the bad old days, and it's all great now. People can make up their own minds.
