Auto Custom Carpets is the ONLY brand I have seen that I would put into any of my restorations. There is no better brand out there, and I even think their carpet is better quality than what came originally in our thirdgens from the factory (my ACC carpet has lasted longer than the original).

Be sure to send a sample of your carpet from under the back seat (no sun, no wear) just to make sure that they send the correct color. Batches can vary, and I had to send back a carpet once to them, which they willingly did but it took time.

Thanks Blue. I had heard they were the best. The replacement carpet that is in mine now has faded so much you can not even tell what color it's suppose to be. ACC was very helpfull and is sending me a few different color samples for me to take a look at.

I purchased custome-made floor mats from ACC--the job was first rate. If your carpet isn't in terrible condition, you might do as I did: I removed the seats and hired a professional carpet cleaner to give the carpet a once over. The mats were $80, the cleaning $20.

I just finished installing my new ACC carpet it looks great, but be patient its time consuming as there are no holes cut of any kind.

another vote for ACC here!

i was definately surprised, the quality is awsome, much better than stock; i didn't even need extra insulation underneath the carpet was so thick!

you won't regret it, the one thing i would add would be to send them a sample of the color you want to make sure it's absolutely perfect....as mine was a shade off, but looked excellent.
