Carpet advice

Hi everyone

I'm currently looking for a set of good quality tan carpets for my Firebird. I live in England, so want to ensure I get the best quality I can as the shipping costs will be quite high.

I've heard bad things about ACC carpets fading after a year or so and wondered if there were any other manufacturers out there that do a full moulded carpet set of better quality?

Classic industries. sells that ACC carpet. You should check out http://www.carmotorsports.com they have carpet with the actual OEM style rubber backing. Which makes a large difference in the fit of the carpet. I have ACC carpet now and would NEVER buy it again.
