    I'm interested in the answer to this as well, the carpet I put in my GTO faded out in short order from black to a purple-ish hue.

    ACC Carpets is the one that I bought and a lot of other members also - you can search around for different suppliers for the best price but most sell ACC - seems to be the best quality choice

    ACC is the only manufacturer. You can actually get it cheaper by ordering from automotiveinteriors.com .

    I bought ACC for my fox body a few years back and it was nice carpet. The only complaint I had was the perforated cutouts that were suppose to be there weren't. So I had to just wing the cutouts. Other than that I really liked it.

    Did you add the Mass Backing? I was considering getting some closed cell foam like dynaliner for the floors. Is this the same thing?

    I didn't add it to mine, I used Dynamat on my floors before the carpet.m

    I ordered ACC through Rock Auto. I also got the Mass Backing. I have not installed yet to provide any feedback on fitment, but the feel and look of the carpet looks great. It cost me less than $200US with shipping to Maine.

    My ACC carpet was cut to short around the sill plate. Anyone else run across this problem

    Not correct, Newark Auto also makes carpet for our cars.....

    Yes, my acc completely missed on the pass side and on the driver side it barely made it oat the front and missed the rear of the sill plate by about an inch..... I check around and found Newark Auto also manufactured carpet for out cars, they offer 1 piece molded and 2 piece cut and sewn..... I opted for the 2 piece cut and sewn because I thought would be easier to fit around my many cage bars and it was..... It fit well and had plenty of material in all areas.....

    My first ACC carpet had that problem, but the second one fit very good.

    I think the 2-piece is better, and it's what my car originally had.
