    Does anyone know where I might find a quality set of new carpet for my 348? I'd like to do a full interior restoration including floor carpets, door carpets.

    When that's done I'll look into reupholstering the seats. I have no idea where to look for carpet or seat upholstery kits.

    I'm sure a high end shop could make everything from scratch but I'd like to quicken the process if at all possible. Thanks?

    Try GAHH in California. I bought one of their leather top boots for my 355 Spider and was very pleased with the quality and perfect fit.

    I'm Not sure about the 348, but the 355 has molded carpets. I've not found anyone who can reproduce without seems.

    I'm having Coach Trim do new dash and seat leather for one of my 95 355 Berlinetta's. They just finished and will be shipping to me any day. Coach Trim's leather and work is fantastic!!

    For my 308, I searched high & low for a good interior driven by severely cracked leather on the drivers seat.
    After many interviews, I came to the conclusion that you replace things piecemeal and it will look awful. I looked at GAHH and was not impressed. I talked to installers about them and received mixed reactions.

    I went to BraDan on Long Island, NY. They gave me a great price so they installed the carpets, seats, door panels, center console. I understand his aunt stitched together the leather and she did a phenomenal job! All in all, a very good shop.

    Early 348s had several flat pieces just glued down. World Upholstery will send samples of what they sell in bulk

    Thanks for the replies. I'll check into each of them. From what I can see, it's nearly impossible to find these parts. And since I've got a very late 348 (one of the final ones from 1994) I'm sure I need the molded carpet.

    I can't be sure but I may be able to just clean up my whole interior instead of replace all the parts. My carpets have no tears, they're just not "bright and new" looking. Also my seats have no cracks or tears, they're similarly just not "fresh and new" looking. They've got a few marks that look almost as if someone put some chalk on them, but I think that's just where the dye has worn. A good shop might be able to disassemble everything and clean/freshen it up. ???
