Believe me ACC is no where near the quality of the OEM carpet.

Bought the ACC carpet from 50 resto and just reinstalled the OEM, there was that much difference.

That blows!!! I know 2 people who have the ACC carpet kits going in any day. They've got the carpet sitting in their garages. I guess I'll have to laugh at them when it goes in...
