Auto Custom Carpet www.accmats.com They will send you samples so you can pick the color. If you have GM's medium dark grey, thier dove grey is a very close match.

I agree, ACC is the only carpet I would use. Lots of companies are ACC dealers as well, and you may get a shipping break if you buy from a local restoration store or supplier.

I used Classic Industries for my new carpet. Not sure if they get their carpet from ACC or not.

The quality is good but ACC might be better.

I replaced my passenger and cargo area carpets not that long ago. The ones I put in were from ACC, and while they weren't a bad fit, they weren't wonderful either. Atleast the passenger area. The cargo area looks like crap to be honest with you. The rectangular area that is sunken in is full of wrinkles that won't come out. I tried to move the carpet around to see if it would help, but no. I also tried to use a hair dryer to get some heat into the carpet so it might mold itself a little bit better, but I didn't notice a difference. Anyway, I'm not losing sleep over it cause my subwoofer box covers it up. On a more positive note, the color of the carpet was pretty close. I'm not trying to scare you by any means, just to let you know how my experience went so you aren't surprised if things go the way they did in my car.

JC Whitney carries ACC carpet. Get one of their catalogs and sometimes you have a coupon for 10 to 15% off. Always check around EVERYWHERE for the best price.

I went to the boneyard and found a carpet the same color as mine(black) and paid 50 bucks for it, took it to the car wash and pressure washed it for about two hours to get everything out of it...... hung it to dry in my friends garage..... dyed it black......installed it...... good as new.....and you know it fits like an original......cause it is!!!
