I thought that all of the reproduction Kar-Vel carpet was made by the same manufacturer.
I would be happy to be corrected on that impression as I have some of the repro-red Kar-Vel, and it is considerably brighter than the original red Kar-Vel in an unrestored BN2 that I own (yes, even comparing it to portions of the original carpet that are installed where sun and dirty feet would never had hit it). Some of the carpet in that car is original and I was hoping to match it. Unfortunately, the sample of the repro red Kar-Vel is not a good color match so I seem to be faced with choices that are all poor compromises.
