Exact Carpet Replacement
I am replacing the complete carpet in a 95 Corvette and have been unable to find one exactly the same quality. It seems that most vendors sell Auto Custom Carpet (ACC) which will drop ship for them. These vendors all use the "Truvette" brand name. My "Truvette with mass back" ACC carpet came this week and the color is good, but the pile isn't as high or thick as original. IS there anything better and closer to OEM original available?

When it comes time for me to order, I'm getting mine from The Last Detail. Not sure what brand, but everything else they sell is genuine GM and they have the best price as well.

I'd never buy ACC again, put it in my 87 and itisnt modled right, not cut to correct size or shape,heel pad put on out of square,etc.very disappointed in it.

I helped put in a ACC carpet set in a coupe and it just dropped in with no trimming at all.
Frankly you don't want a companies product that you have to "trim" (aka cut it because they didn't)...horrid pain in the **** and I'd never do that again!!
