Best place to buy replacement carpet?

Hey guys,

I see a lot of options on vendor websites as well as on eBay.

Where is the best place to buy a replacement carpet (passenger and cargo) for 1992 Z28? Best value for the price obviously....don't want to go overboard and spend more than I need to.

Looking to purchase black carpet to replace the worn grey one I've got.

Thanks!

Most places sell ACC which I used in my car and was very happy with.
Search for the best price and service.
I purchased mine from 1A and was happy with price and service.

Re: Best place to buy replacement carpet?

I just replaced mine from A1 also. I was VERY pleased. I did not have to do too much trimming and the performed areas fit like a glove!! I had to replace mine due to needing to repair some rust in the floor pan. DAMN T TOPS!! here are a few before & after pics. A lot of work was put into this project but I am very happy with the results.

Re: Best place to buy replacement carpet?

Most, maybe all, of the replacement carpet is the same since ACC bought out ACS.

Last year I got a good deal from YearOne on mine during one of their holiday sales. Being near the 4th you may luck out as well.

Bought mine for my Bronco from ACC. It fit perfect, and about 3 days it was at my door!

If you buy directly from ACC you will pay the highest price. Not sure why, but you can get the best deal from an ACC distributor. The best part of it is that my carpet was purchased from 1A but it was shipped to me directly from ACC.
Wherever you buy it from, order a set of mats with it also and tell them you want them all made from the same dye lot. ACC has the carpet in rolls and presses it into a form when they make it for a specific car. So by telling them to cut it all from the same roll it will force ACC to make your carpet as opposed to giving you something that they have in stock that has been in a box for possibly months or years and will have creases that won't come out. I got mine in a week from the time I ordered it so it really doesn't delay the order. When you get it, immediately remove it from the box and open it. Let it sit in your basement or some other place opened so that no creases set in and it is ready to go when you install it.

Re: Best place to buy replacement carpet?

The first one I got from tamraz. But I had to send it back the heel pad does not match the original. The second one was from stock interiors. Although it doesn't match the original exactly it comes close at least it has the three heel pads.

Re: Best place to buy replacement carpet?

Tamraz. I think Trim Parts made the carpet. Actually ended up selling it to my Upolstery guy for just a few bucks less than what I paid. So it worked out ok for me. I bought the seat foam from them also. Had no problem with that.

That where I got my carpet and door panels. It is EXACTLY the same as most other vendors, but about $30 cheaper.

Its actually 1aauto.com. Not A1. Thats a sauce.

Between 1aauto and other sites, they are pretty much the same carpet, as long as it is ACC carpet.

Re: Best place to buy replacement carpet?

Rock Auto also sells ACC carpet and had really good prices. All of the carpet ships direct from ACC anyway.
