Carpet kit recommendation

So I am shopping for a carpet kit for my 69. Looking for quality and correctness. Anyone have any recommendations? Willing to pay up for a nice kit that fits well and looks as factory as possible.

I went with a set from Dennis Carpenter when I did my 68. You really need a steamer to make them lay down and fit good.

These were good quality, full coverage on the floor.
May be the same ones DC provides.

Maybe this is something I should talk to an interior guy about installing after I buy it. Other than letting it sit in the sun I do not have a way to soften it up for installing.

Steamers are pretty cheap. You could buy one or rent one maybe.

Sun and some heat from a heat gun has always done it for me
Go easy on the heat gun
Trucks are easier than cars, do it yourself and save some dough
I use Dynamat in the cab before putting the carpet down, and glue the carpet in is what I do
