    Just got a AAC carpet for AutoKrafters ... not anything like the original.

    Original was 2 pieces with a large heel pad ....

    AAC is one piece with small pad ....


    Here is the original ... and the AAC ...

    Don't think I have ever seen a Maverick with that large of a heel pad???

    I got mine from ACC as well. The quality is identical to the original BUT the original was 2-piece and the ACC carpet is 1-piece. Two-piece would have been much easier to install...

    I have not installed it yet ... I just layed it out to let it settle since it comes folded and rolled up in a box. My car is still in the body shop. I agree that a two-piece would be easier to install .... I assume AAC makes Mustang carpet in two-pieces so I can't imagine why making Mavericks that way would be a problem ...
