Default Carpet recommendations

I’m finishing up my frame up 69 BB resto and wondering what replacement carpet folks are recommending. What vendor for good quality replacement.

I recently replaced the carpet in my 68. I purchased it through Willcox Corvette and took advantage of the discount they were offering. It’s made by ACC and the fit and quality are very good.

Bought mine from Willcox as well. ACC carpet. No complaints. Full disclosure: I have not installed it yet. It has been sitting in my garage for well over a year.

my samples are from acc...helpful folks..
first ones thin as paper, second regal, third vette carpets...all off color vette carpet thickest but thicker than oem..tighter...but off color..

yes i am looking at nonfaded areas..

still looking..other than a burned up spot under passenger seat (cat) and wear behind driver’s seat it damn decent shape..
i really want that old carpet smell out of the back..ive removed fronts and hosed out they don’t stink but back does..that rear seems like a pita so i want the carpet right once


Original really good quality..that burn under passenger seat not visible..

Unbox it and let it stretch out for several days (preferably in a warm garage/room/or sunlight) before you install it.. And don't buy the China-Carpet...unless you know the guy!
Ask me how I know

ON A SIDE NOTE: Do any venders sell 80/20 Red by the yard? The internet is a maze of "maybe we have it"

Thanks all! I just put my order in at Wilcox. I’m eager to finish up the interior on my 69 project. A little over two years since I started with a Bare sandblasted frame.

I ordered a complete set from Rock Auto. ACC carpet was the cheapest I could find, about $100 cheaper than Zip Corvettes. Went in easy and looks great!
