Stockinterior.com dove gray carpet?

Anyone ordered carper from stockinterior.com? I'm looking to replace my Dove gray carpet. Problem is they don't list that color. From the web site it looks like Mist Gray is close. I know I can get samples but I wondered if anyone already worked this out. The EXACT color isn't so imperative since I am replacing all of it and getting material to recover my console and interior panels too. If anything I want it a tic darker. Also, if you have used them how does their standard carpet compare in quality to the original or is upgrading to the better carpet necessary?

I have that site saved in the back of my mind, I have beechwood tan though. I ordered samples from them last year and from what I see I think it's made by the same company as the one 1a auto offers and Hawks and so on. They probably just changed the name to be difficult

IIRC,they always sold ACC,but I checked there web site and they don't show ACC anymore.I would suggest getting some Samples from Classic,1A and Stockinteriors I got mine from 1A,they had the Carmine.

They told me the carpet is molded in Alabama, which should be ACC. Almost everyone I checked is using the same manufacturer, or at least they're all coming from AL.

Did you order yours with the mass backing? I think that is a good idea but my stock (presumably) carpet is thicker than 40mils, especially in the back. I'm considering shaving my stock carpet and using it as an underlayment. Anyway, let me know what your experiences have been.

Yes I ordered the Mass Backing/console cutout, easy install, just some cutting on the sides. Me personally, I wouldn't use the old carpet for underlayment, too thick, nothing's going to fit back in, seats, side panels, rocker panels, etc.
