I'm trying to decide which type of carpet to put in my '70 fastback. It has the white interior, and to try to get rid of the harlequin black/white look, I'm installing gray carpet to serve as a gradient between the white seats and headliner and the black dash, etc. Motor South Carpet offers the original 100% nylon loop in gray, but they also have gray in a cut pile.
Which do you think would look better? Some of the European cars had already transitioned to a cut pile style carpet, and I feel like it would look better after a few years of wear than a loop carpet would (Just going on experience; my '66 Fairlane got new carpet and it faded and pilled up in places within two years). Do you think the cut pile would look like a classy upgrade, or do you think it would look out of place?
(I should clarify that this is a very close-cut pile carpet, not anything like a shag carpet).
