Default Knox auto carpets?

Just wondering if anyone has used these guys before? They are a lot cheaper than Rare Spares prices. The most expensive is $185 incl delivery for super plush moulded carpets for a sedan.
It seems pretty simple but I thought I'd see if anyone had any views/experiences carpeting their cars.

Cheers,

Jamie

I did my EA with some of their stuff.

I found it an improvement over the original stuff obviously, you still have to trim it and cut the holes for shifter and stuff.

Cheapest i could find so why not.

My XB's carpeted with their product. I'm happy with the product. I also bought their sound proofing. The extremely thick and heavy one.

brenx, did the sound deadening make a good improvement?

Re. Knox Auto Carpets, I went down the other day for some firewall insulation (engine bay) but they don't stock that. < That was rather pointless heh.

Made around a 70% improvement. I could listen to the radio at low levels. It's great! I got two rolls from memory. This new chassis is not as quite inside as I left some of the deadening in the other chassis when it was carted away by acccident. Now I'm kicking myself : Didn't realise I had done it till I started putting it in this car :(
