I am about to install the carpet set in my 356 C Coupe. I found the orginal material for the back rear seats.
Do you recommend to use this material or stick with the modern material?
I have used the orginal materials from Bill Perone's workshop, what material should be used (both from apractical point of view and orginality) between the isolation and the carpet?
Thanks.

Re: Installing carpet (tips)
Here is a link that will help some. The padding needs to be 1/2 inch thick no matter what you use or the panel may not be in correct position with respect to rear garnish rails,covering rear defroster tubes etc. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=32529

Re: Installing carpet (tips)
I just started installing carpet in my C today. I have been putting this job off since I knew it would be a pain, but not quite as bad as I anticipated once I got into it.
I am making a new rear panel since the fiber board is in rough shape, I will reuse the upholstery.
Today I installed the front sections of carpet and speakers, I cut out holes with this fine German tool:
Good luck,
Mark
