Best place to get carpet?

I need to replace the carpet in my 94 T/A. Where is the best place to get it. I know you can get different quality styles of carpet, but im just looking for something cheap right now.

Don't forget about one of the sponsors of this site!
F-Bodycarpet.com
I believe they have 4th gen carpets from about $350.

I wouldn't go cheap. If you can, just by some cheap floor mats cover up until you can get some quality carpet, like from F-Body Carpet.com They are supposed to have some great stuff!

Well the reason I was going cheap was because I am more and likley gonna sell the car near the end of the year, thats why I dont really want to invest a whole lotta $$$ in it. I was checking on some site last night and saw one that had it for 209 shipped. I was just thinking i could get it for a better price , but hell, I have no eartly idea how much it should be in the first place LOL

Thanks for the suggestions!!!

This is similar to buying a $250 Flowmaster Cat-Back or an $800 B&B all stainless Tri-Flow Cat-Back. They both serve basically the same function but the quality is quite different. Same with your carpet... hold the $200 carpet and the $350 carpet side by side and I'm sure you'll see the difference!

But, like you said, if you are only going to keep the car for a short period of time, and don't care how it holds up 5 years down the road, you may not care to spend the extra $$$. On the flip side, spending another $150 on the carpet could get you another $300 for the car because you could use the fact you put "ultra high quality" carpet in your car and use that as a selling point

Brent's right. I learned a long time ago that if you go with the cheap products you will regret it. I'll probably be buying from them later this week when I order my leather seat covers from LeatherSeats.com.
