Best Carpet Supplier
Guys, I have my 92 interior stripped down to sheet metal and I am currently installing sound mat and then replacing the carpet. Who out there sells the BEST third gen carpet on the market?

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
Unless someone has some really old inventory lying around, you're going to get carpet from ACC no matter who you buy from. They're the only company that makes it anymore.

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
How was Stock interiors,I called them and they sent me samples,are they OK to deal with.I liked the material they sent matches really well.
The only thing I don't care for is the carpet is two pieces,I want one piece.
How does the two piece look.

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
Mine is the same as yours,1piece from under the dash to the back of the rear seats.
Stock Interiors only offers a two piece kit that is separated just under the the rear of the front seats and overlaps their right where the seat belt housing is,for the 86 TA.However
the do offer a one piece for some of the later models.

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
I picked up my rear black carpet off ebay. Good quality, feel and fit, minor trimming on the end as it was a bit long.
Been in there a year now. Will probably replace the front carpet next year.
Pics of the carpet on in my build log in my sig.

one is the cargo area and the other is the passenger
stockinteriors.com matches that
you can buy the passenger area or the cargo area, or both which is what is called the 2-piece
my passenger rug is going in today after i tighten the tilt column on the steering wheel
my cargo area was in good shape. I also have a headliner and sun visors due to arrive on Monday from stockinteriors
they are like most Ebay "stores" who basically set up a web presence and then source the parts. You'll find that with remanufactured engines as well despite all the claims that "we are the manufacturer"
heck, if you need decent seat covers (more than $100), you can go through iggee on ebay or go to coverking on Amazon and pay less for the same exact product.

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
With rare exception, we all sell ACC carpet. The good news is, the ACC stuff is very good stuff. I used to deal ACS carpet because it was a much better material than the ACC stuff, but ACC bought ACS and now uses the Dorsett carpet material from ACS in their products.
#12
Re: Best Carpet Supplier
I put in the ACC carpet resold by stockinteriors.com. I only had to trim a little and it looks good. I'm putting in the new black interior pieces, the reupholstered seats in black/gray leather, the new headliner and visors and then I'll post photos
But, ACC seems OK to me. It's just question of finding a reseller that can live with less profit margin and give the better deal. Since they don't stock the rug, it ships from the actual supplier, and they get paid in advance, the resellers aren't really exposed much financially so shop around for the lowest price.

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
Tony, can you get the carpet uncut in the rear? For the back seat bolts. Don't have the seat so I want the carpet to be long enough to reach my box. Thanks

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
I'm curious how much of a difference the padding under the carpet makes? 1A do you offer up graded padding or just the standard jute padding. Anyone notice any difference between the two?

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
sorry I missed this - the stock carpets usually have more padding (ACC just covers the footwell areas), but you can reuse your old stuff if its not too far gone. The factory carpets have a heavier backing on them than the regular ACC line, but they do offer the upgrade as well. We don't yet carry the Essex materials, but Jim can help ya there if you want to go that route

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
I'm flippin' confused.. does 1ACCS02838 cover front and rear or is it that lame 2-piece design? I've read so many posts tonight on carpet that I can't keep my mind straight

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
you've got it almost right that part number is 2 pieces - one for the front and one for the cargo area. this will cover all the floor ya got
#28
Re: Best Carpet Supplier
Thank you! Am I correct in saying that the photo appears to have a split between the front seats and the rear? That's the 2 piece non OEM style I'm trying to avoid. Is this comes with the cargo too that would be great.

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
yeah, that's what we get for using a "stock" photo; its just a generic carpet picture (although ACC is working to get photos of all their different carpet kits). This carpet will be split the same as the original carpet - behind the rear seat.

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
Bravo! That picture scared me from your site a few times now lol hope they get around to changing it. Thank you!

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
looks like the adhesive on the back jute (padding) wasn't completely cured when they started moving it around. if you have an issue with adjusting it or installing, please let me know.
otherwise, you're making me itch to do mine. not a fan of thread bare, stained, and burned carpet so much....

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
I got mine with the console cut out and I still had to do a lot of cutting. Cutting in areas with the backing pad SUCKS. I used my old carpet as a template and the console on mine was larger.

Re: Best Carpet Supplier
SMKNTRS has the right idea - use the original as a basic template to get things close out of the car, and then do you final cuts in the car.
