carpet question
I am purchasing new carpet for my 90 vert and was wandering where some of you got your carpet and how much you paid for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i bought a mass backed set from forum vendor willcox for my 85 coupe. the carpet was ACC. it was very good quality, excellent fit with minimum trimming. you could get directly from willcox, but i bought mine from him via fleabay. i bought mine years ago, and i'm thinking i paid around $425.

Most of the carpet is made by the same company. Wilcox (they're upfront about it) and others just remarket and drop ship. As GC stated make sure it's the mass backed, yeah it costs a little more, but.....

Just order directly from ACC it's will come from them anyways when you order through most vendors. I order all my interior stuff from wilcox and the carpet ship from acc is a acc box. Foam came from corvette central I think. Seat covers came in a unmarked box.
ACC fit my car very well ... The door panel carpet is a pain to deal with it is real thick and doesn't contour to the doors very well. I gave up and will be re-dying the dash and door panel carpet since it is in nice shape.
with acc carpet it seems to be molded to fit the thicker factory style sound deadening material and if you try to use that thin foil sound deadening stuff the carpet will not fit well. I used the foil stuff and noticed this then in areas it didn't fit well I added jute padding so the carpet layed flat.
razor blades cut the massback carpet very easily and leaves perfectly clean cuts. You will have to trim around lower seatbelt mounts, the rear trunk riser, and a few other areas but it isn't too bad. The carpet kit doesn't come with speaker carpet
here is acc carpet and wilcox seat covers if your doing that too (these are leatherlike) that I bought for my 90 coupe
Here is after mounted
here is the massback material
