Wool vs. "standard" carpet

[fordracing65]

Most Ferraris use Wilton Wool, even in there convertible models, just Google, Ferrari carpet wool, it will show you all the models that use wool carpet, if it's not wool it's Velour, much different than a Nylon carpet. the more I have been looking into it the happier I am that I choose wool, it even said it is fire resistant, hopefully I never have to find out, it also said it is used as the carpet of choice in most high end casino carpeting and residential use for its wear quality... Just some fun facts also scotch guard spray will help the life of the carpet...

- could always match the shade and just do the trans tunnel and footmats in wool.

having read the thread, am thinking of re-doing the trans tunnel as i cant be bothered to rip out the rest of the carpet, which can hardly be seen (I have vynil across the back of the cockpit).

Huh? We only use Berber in the high-end places. Many different grades up to the wool "hybrid". If someone ran a Wilton on one ,then I stand corrected. But nobody wants it. Also, I have built a few casinos and hotels and trust me, that isn't Wilton. my 2 c

Google can be your best friend also, I worked at 2 Casinos in Vegas and both used Wilton Wool... It's funny nobody wants it but ERA charges a premium price for Wilton and the Kirkhams use it exclusively in there cars, but a Kirkham I guess isn't a high end Cobra... Plus when I went to college in NC it's the furniture capital of the USA, Furniture Market every year is held there in High Point, NC and Wilton carpet is the best of the best just check the prices on it at market it's unreal the price people pay for it. Put Berber in your cobra or Astro turf, it's your car...

I sort of want it, but it seems super pricey. I'm already paying $650 for standard carpet plus $200 for trunk carpet, and ERA estimates the wool is an additional $1000. That's a ton of dough for carpet. I thought the difference would be less

I think you will be happy with the synthetic, remember your engine is the jewel of your car from what I remember, anyways you wouldn't want people to soil themselves on the Wilton when those 600 plus horses kick in...
