Carpet

Okay I am going to buy some new carpet, and was wondering something. At Hawks the carpet is like $250 for a complete set, but at JC Whitney it is $150. Is the JC Whitney carpet Complete? (it really dont say) and also is there any big difference in quality? The JC Whitney is ACS carpet and the hawks i think is ACC.....

Re: Carpet

I just got a set for the front seating area. I am not impressed. The cabin are comes in two pieces and they overlap each other under the front seats. There are no cut outs for the shifter area, so in order to get an accurate cut you have to remove the shifter and ebrake to lay the front piece in place. Plus, it just doesnt look very nice. I wish I had saved more money and spent it on a good set.

Re: Carpet

ACC normally sells really good carpet.I did have a really hard time getting the carpet to fit well in the hatch area of my 84 TA. (In the trunk well). I do plan on buyng another whole set from them for my 87.
