Default Best carpet (USA made)

I'm get to the point on my 68 restoration that I need a carpet kit. Who makes the best carpet kit. I'm not concerned about the cheapest, I would prefer that it's made in USA. Look forward to advise and opinions.
Thanks,

Just installed a ACC kit in my 68, fit was very nice, still took a few hours and some trimming but the molded parts were just about perfect.

Hi Dan-

The 68 carpets by ACC were re-tooled this year to make sure they fit 100 percent correctly. They are made in Anniston Al. This was a joint effort that we took on with ACC, supplying them with original carpets to make the needed changes.

You can view the install on our facebook service page and the carpets are on sale 1 more week starting today until Sunday. There will be a new sale thread started today in about an hour.
