I am certain they could make a high quality kit for the 280Z.

Do you have a link to Chester & Herod? Their website seems to just be a link farm or some type. Are they still in business?

I have the MSA kit with the loop pile in my 73. It's not quite as good as the original in terms of appearance, but it's OK. The backing is cheap and I'm going to replace it with something like Dynapad.

I purchased one from Black Dragon this year and it was a whole lot of cutting to make it fit, I would not buy another from them unless they were to insure me that it would fit a whole lot better than the carpet kit that they are selling right now. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the feedback. I just got off the phone with C&H. They seem very knowledgeable. I ordered the loop floor mat with surged edging and rubber backing. $75.

Steve,

Did they offer the option of a heel pad?

Thanks,

Keith

Yep, that's included on the driver's side.

I tried finding the website for Chester and Herod from info in this thread and from a recording at the C&H company. As mentioned elsewhere, the C&H link goes to a generic link farm. Is there a C&H website with pictures of their products?

I never did make the web site work. I gave them a call at the number above. They were happy to answer all my questions.

I hate the molded kit, the kit from Eiji is exactly like the original. It was so easy to install and everything fit perfectly.

I called Chester and Herod today and they are sending me some carpet samples. I asked about their website and was told that it is being worked on. I asked for pictures of the full 13 pc kit, but pictures are not available.

I forgot to ask about molded kits for the 72 240Z. I am not sure how that could be done since the foor is broken up in so many non continuous areas.

I would like to see more pictures of the C&H kits if you guys have any.

MSA is also working up a complete kit for me in gray loop and sent me some gray samples. They have a complete kit, but it is only available in black.

Here are a few photos of the cut & sewn carpet kit I got from C&H for my '78 coupe. Overall I've been very happy with it.
