    Since I have been here, I have learned one thing, everyone agrees to disagree.
    I need new carpet but don't know who to buy from. I thought about auto krafters then I saw them called autokrappers, I thougt about JC Whitney, then I read about how flimsy their carpets were. So can someone help point me in the right direction?[​IMG]

    The carpet in Auto Krafters is made by ACC one of my Mavericks has it and it looks and fits great.

    I often call them AutoKrappers because of their attitude, not because of the products they sell. They do no manufacture anything, They are straictly a retailer. I still buy from them when they are the only game in town.

    I have been calling them that for years, And I thought it was pretty funny when I saw you did to.

    I also buy from automotiveinteriors.com. They are very nice to deal with and very helpful. They'll even send you samples before you buy. I'd recommend them highly.

    Not to change the subject, but it looks like your Maverick is the same color as mine...

    Re: Carpet

    Darrell, I bought mine from Auto Krafters, It laid right in....no problem, looks original and has worn good for a year now 119.00. I also told them J.C.Whitney would ship theirs for free so they honored that also.

    We got the carpets for our Mavericks from AutoKrafters as well. Never had a problem with them and they fit great.

    Has anyone heard of stock interiors.com? They are a little cheaper on their carpet and will send samples also.
