  • Post your aftermarket carpet reviews here please.

    ACC is the most advertised, but I know there are others. I'd like to know whe has used what brand, and what kind of comments you have. Also, what did you pay, and is the color & texture close to original?
    Thanks!

    ACC carpet review

    I ended up ordering ACC carpet from Late Model Restoration Supply. They are the only ones that actually had a listing for SVO Gray... The owner also happens to own an SVO, so offered to make sure that it did match before shipping it to me.

    I installed it in my car... It looks like it would fit perfect in a normal installation. contours were nice and seemes to match all the nooks & crannies well.
    What makes my install not normal. is that we decided to put more insulation under the carpet...(the silver-backed stuff from Pep Boys)
    I wouldn't recommend it. It makes the foot area very tight, and you need to use longer screws for the center console. ans you have to have someone sit in the seats to squish the carpet to get the nuts started.
    If my wife wouldn't have spent the time cutting & fitting the insulation, I would've tossed it out... but, I couldn't bring myself to that... She's so sweet...
    On the up side, my car is waaay more quiet now & I don't have as much heat radiating from the transmision tunnel. I don't burn my fingers on change from the ash tray!

    Anyway, As far as color & fit (besides my "custom" intall, I'd give ACC a 10...
    I'd also give Late model Restoration Supply a 10 for going the extra mile to make sure I got the right color.

    I can't vouch for wear though... I'll post an update in a couple years...
