Options for Interior Carpeting

I am looking to replace the carpeting in my 85 Iroc. Gray interior. I am not very fond of the quality found in the acc custom carpet.

Are there any other companies out there that I can turn to to get a really high quality molded custom carpet for my iroc?

Classic Industries carpet is ACC. Even the box it comes in has ACC's logo plastered all over it.

Classic Industries does use ACC Carpet. I did actually find another carpet.

A guy on the Impala SS forum is doing a run on 1200 MB series carpet molded for the Impala for $165. I emailed him and spoke with him on the phone about the carpet. It is Merceded Benz Quality Carpet and is very thick and plush. No fibers come out when you rub your hand over it. So you do not have to vaccum for hours for it to look great.

I asked him about a mold for the Iroc and he told me we can do it. Cost is about 50-100 dollars more than ACC, but the quality is impecable. I got a deal cause I ordered front,rear and a carpet for another car.

If anyone is interested, the only colors available are black and light gray. Shoot me an email (zimmstoy@yahoo.com) and I will get firm pricing and availability for you.

Thanks,
