Has anyone here purchased the carpet kits from OC Auto? Pros/cons to the kits?

No however I just purchased through Top Flight Automotive and try to support the vendors here on the forum. Good quality carpet for my 75 coupe cut pile. Needed to trim the excess but happy with the fit and quality. Best price I found they had free shipping and a discount.
I also have also used Willcox, CorvetteCentral and Ecklers all with good results for parts.

I purchased ACC Loop carpeting for my 73, and the fit was very good. Unfortunately, within in a year or so, the carpet is starting to wear around the drivers Kick Panel and where the floor mat doesn’t cover. I probably drive less than 50 miles per month, so how could the carpet wear so fast? I called Corvette American about the ACC Loop Mats wearing out, and they emailed me back that “the manufacturer didn’t care.” You may be wise to try Al Knoch Interiors, but make sure they don’t just buy the carpet from ACC. I purchased Wool Floor mats for my car from COCO Mats located in
S. Carolina, they ain’t cheap, but I know they wont look like crap within a year. I wonder if the material/manufacturing cost, is a factor that makes the After Market Carpeting wear out so quickly?

Thank you all for your commentary. You know what they say about “if it sounds too good to be true”, and I was questioning why their prices were drastically lower.
On a side note, I’ll most likely be going with one of the sellers that supports this forum; you guys wouldn’t let them sell here if their products were crap.
thanks again!

Note the carpets I received were from ACC so will see how they wear, Price is not as much as an issue as the labor. I try to get my car out 2x a month. I did receive mats from them 4 years and 1000 miles ago have held up well. Had a issue with the edging when new, then sent a replacement with no hassle.
I also got Al K. a pillars and I believe visors, are pretty good quality. Also have the CA door panels, the plastic is indeed a bit thick around the door lock and handle area and the door lock area was about 1/4" off on one side.
Could just be hard to match poor 70's GM build quality?
