Hello all I'm looking to replace the carpet in my 86 ta..... money is not an issue just want the best carpet I can get...... so the question is Hawks or ACC.... or other suggestions.

 

Hawks sells ACC. I can get you much nicer stuff. PM me or IM Jim85IROC.

 

Has anyone heard if the carpet rock auto sells is good, only 100 and all molded. It's Sold by ACS/Dorsett...never heard of em but rockauto has given me good business.

 

Car Motorsports offers a premium line of carpet that is of better quality, but is does cost more. It's also available with a rubber backing similiar to what came on the factory carpet. After a lot of looking/reading, this is what I ended up ordering.

A search here will turn up a lot of info on this topic. I read through a lot of posts before settling on Car Motorsports.

 

I requested samples from carmotorsports and received them today. Looks like the samples came straight from the factory. Two samples are marked ACS/Dorsett 800 series.

 

The samples you got, the 800 series, are the same quality as everyone else sells, the ACS/Dorsett or ACC, I have samples of both from different suppliers. I also have samples of the Premium line Car Motorsports sells, and the labels on them are Essex Series/Carpet by Dorsett. This is a noticeably thicker, richer carpeting when comparing the samples side by side. This is what I ordered, but it does cost more. I was also getting matching floor mats and a t-top bag, both with custom embroidery, so that was another reason I ordered from them. You may want to call them and specifically request the premium carpet samples, that is what I did and requested specific colors while I was at it.

 

I'm a dealer for both ACC and the ACS carpet, so I've got a ton of samples of both. I've also unfortunately got the ACC carpet in my GTA. The reason I decided to start dealing ACS is because the ACC stuff is so bad that I couldn't bring myself to sell it. Even the ACS 800 series is a huge improvement over the ACC stuff.
