best place to buy carpet?

i am looking for the best carpet to get for my iroc. all i need is the passenger area carpet. the back is perfect, has anyone ever had a problem with replacing just half of the carpet and it not matching up to the other? also what is the correct technical color name for the grey carpet in thirdgens?

thanks for the help i will put up a picture of my interior as it sits now. done a couple of changes.

Here is a place you can buy carpet for 3rd Gens from, don't know how the carpet they sell compares to other places, but they do sell it.

Re: best place to buy carpet?

i am looking for the best carpet i can get and i want it to be just like the factory same color and same texture so it matches the rear area carpet.

thanks for the link Jason1313

i would like to hear from people that have bought carpet. where they got it from, and the quality of it. and i would also like to know the "technical" color of the grey that came in thirdgens.

Re: best place to buy carpet?

I bought ACC (Auto Custom Carpet) for my 88 TA, I only did the front like you want to (my rear carpet was mint, too) and it matched up perfectly. I believe the technical color is Medium Gray (I think). When I fold the rear seats down, the two sections meet up and you can't tell a difference in the color at all.

Try www.rockauto.com

And the color you are looking for "should" be Dove Grey.

Re: best place to buy carpet?

Just checked my GM manual, the RPO code for my 88 is 821, which is called Dark Medium Gray.
