Best fitting carpet
Who supplies the best fitting carpet? AK, CA or......
I need to replace the rear section only as the replacement that is there, doesn't fit well. Does anybody sell the rear section as a stand alone?
If do have to buy a complete set, can anybody use a front set - black?

I bought the mass-back carpet for Ami's 69 from MAM. I was very impressed with the quality and fit. Looks really nice!
Also, I used their green cement. That too worked very well, once I got the timing down between applying it and gluing it together.

PS Forgot to mention that you can buy either the front or the rear, if you want. I would be leery of doing that for fear of not getting a good match. If you had bought the front pieces from a vendor and then later bought the other half, that might be one thing. But, just to buy 1/2 of the carpet from another vendor? I would think that is asking for trouble, far as getting it to match.
Your mileage may vary.

It's important to know the manufacturer, Auto Custom Carpet (ACC) is top of the line in fit, color, etc.
You will find that Corvette America gets their carpet from ACC, so "fit perfectly" is not a surprise.
