Default which carpet kit do you have?

For those of you who have bought new carpet lately, who did you buy from? Im just looking for a good quality and a good fit. Im looking at Laurel Mountain Mustang right now.

I don't think it really matters what retailer you buy the carpet from as most retailers get the carpets from the same company. The carpet kit I bought was made by Auto Custom Carpet(ACC). In any case, you'll still have to cut and trim the carpet a little for it to fit just right.

I believe mine was ACC also. I got it from Manatee Mustang when they were at the Food Lion Auto Fair in Charlotte. Fit well but you do have to do some trimming, mostly on the sides at the rockers and kick panel area. Looks good though and quality is very good.

I have some "classic", 45 year old Ford carpet. I think several small mammals have died on this over the years.

PS - I love all of the random **** hanging out from my dash. Im pretty sure the poor harness was "modified" for modern stereo equipment at some point.

This car lived in CA, AZ, and FL before moving to storage in Ohio. So lots of sun on black carpet.

I'm going to rip it out this summer and do some rust remediation, so I will need to look for new stuff soon.
