    Does everyone agree that ACC is the way to go? I will need new carpet for mine.

    I am very happy with mine.  I ordered some cheap stuff first from another supplier and ended up sending it back because of the poor fit over the hump. Got the ACC Essex, not the original look but I really like the more luxurious look and feel of it. It seems to be a little thicker. I just ordered seat spacers to raise the seat tracks up a little. Had some problems sliding the seat tracks in the thicker carpet.

    I did a lot of research before I ordered my carpet and the vast majority recommend the ACC.  :2thumbs:

    I almost went with Trim Parts since they're located just in the next town over from me.  However, I believe that the heel pad on the ACC carpet is closer to the pad on the original carpets, so I ultimately decided on the ACC.

    Trim Parts here too. Layed my carpet out of box for a few months during resto. Carpet was much better to work with also. :) Virtually wrinkle free.

    Is that the same ACC carpets I see on ebay for $150 or so? So they are a good carpet? They don't really specify what color I need, more than one choice of blue? Thanks!!!
