    Cut pile is used in most every modern car that I have seen.
    Loop pile is mostly 50's 60's and some 70's cars as far as I know.
    I just think it looks better, but the loop pile from ACC is pretty
    pitiful. I don't know about the cut pile from them.

    Now you tell me. Actually, I did this to my old 57 Ford back in the late 60's. Learned that lesson well.
