    I'm ready to buy carpet and would like some direct experiential data. If you have had actual direct experience with carpet from any of these sources, please tell me about it:

    • Kanter
    • Classic Auto Parts
    • USA Parts Supply
    • Metro Parts Market
    • Hirsch

    Also, if you've purchased a carpet set from some other source and are HAPPY with it, please let me know.

    I am interested only in cut pile carpet, so that eliminates Mac's; LeBaron Bonney doesn't make a set for my car.

    I considered just buying raw carpet by the yard and making my own, but I have no way to sew the seams or sew in the heel pad.

    Your responses will be greatly appreciated, either here or by e-mail. FlatHat@comcast.net

    If Auto Custom Carpets makes a set for your car, that's the one you want. Used them many times and was always super happy, plus they're cheap.

    Prepare for a shitstorm to come for not reading the rules or doing an intro before you asked your question.

    The problem is that they all seem to come from Auto Custom Carpets- whoever you order from.

    If anyone has another source I'd like to hear. The ACC carpet - black loop pile for a 64 ranchero- fuzzes out really bad like cheap nylon and already looks worse than the 30 year old carpet it replaced . . . .and is turning pink after one year. It didn't even fit that well and has a big gap at the raer of the cab.

    I am already thinking about replacing it. . . but why. . . if it's only going to last a year again?
