Re: Camaro replacement carpet
I have always had the best luck with Auto Custom Carpets (ACC). They seem to require the least amount of effort to make them fit correctly.

Re: Camaro replacement carpet
Hopefully ACC has improved quality control. I bought mine maybe 15 years ago. I sent the first one back because the jute padding was so far from where it should be. Second one was better, but still not right.
I had to shave most of the jute padding off and re-attach it in the correct position. It lacks just about a half inch being wide enough, and won't stay tucked in on the passenger side under the kick panel.

Re: Camaro replacement carpet
What do you suggest then Lynn? I have used all of them and theirs seems to be the best by far. I would certainly be interested in looking into any others that are better.

Re: Camaro replacement carpet
I am assuming there are only a couple of actual carpet manufacturer's and most of the places that sell carpet either sell ACC or a competitor?

I just used a Trim Parts 69 Camaro carpet on my last car. It sucked, did not fit that well and was very thin, you could see the backing with a light on it. Maybe others have used Trim Parts with better luck ? All the rest I used were ACC, all I can say is there OK, not great. Mike |

Re: Camaro replacement carpet
----Its my impression that the few molded carpet producers out there all seem to be trying to meet a price, rather than meet a quality objective. If just one manufacturer would produce a factory quality molded carpet and charge us the amount necessary I think they would be very surprised by the response.
----Jake,,,I would have to say that ACC is probably the best out there, but they aren't doing the best that they could. Has Dave worn a hole under the clutch pedal??? .....Bill S |

I was able to use the ACC. It is still in my car. I doubt anyone has noticed that it doesn't tuck under the right kick panel (other than me). Don't know that there is a better alternative. I will say the loop looked very much like an original carpet. Also, as far as the molded shape of the carpet, I have no complaints. I do not know if they have fixed that particular quality control issue. Like I said, it has been quite a few years. The vendor was quick to take it back and send another once I explained the problem. I found it strange that I experienced the exact same issue (to a different degree) with two different ones. I chalked it up to a bad batch, and figured it would take less time to remove and properly place the jute padding than to wait on another one. I also found it strange that I never saw a post on any of the web sites complaining of the jute being put on incorrectly. I couldn't have been the only one, and received the only two that were improperly glued on.
