Best quality vehicle carpet?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CCCC · 09-25-2017, 11:21 PM

Need help from those with carpet experience - looking for a complete kit with best fit, color true and durability. Yes, we have vendors on the site and am willing to by from them, but don't want to guess on quality and have a sorry experience. In this case, it is not for one of our trucks - it is for a 67 Corvette Coupe and there are quite a few odd angles and smaller areas. So, am needing your recommendation for top quality. If you would rather not reply here, kindly send me a PM.

Thanks very much for any help.

Service is important. From my experience - - best is stockinteriors.com

I believe stockinteriors has ACC. I have bought ACC carpet through them and through another vendor and was happy with the fit and quality.

Are you a NCRS member? Are you looking for carpet that will pass NCRS judging? I searched the NCRS forum and found this thread (not sure you can access it if not a NCRS member) https://www.ncrs.org/forums/showthre...ht=1967+carpet from 2013. It appears options at that time were limited to ACC, Corvette America and Al Knoch. The info in the thread suggests that ACC (https://www.accmats.com/commerce/196...looring/19603/) may be the best choice.

I used ACC, purchased through Rock Auto, for my truck and would recommend it if the Vette carpet is similar in quality. If looking for the durability over originality, you may be better off with the 100% nylon than the original 80/20 loop. I have a Rock Auto 5% discount code valid through Oct. 1 if you need it.

EDIT: Here's another NCRS thread about originality from 2013.

Thank you all - very, very much - particularly the detailed info from Firstowner69. No - not concerned about NCRS judging. Simply that I have owned this Corvette for 46 years - my kids grew up with it and it will go to them before long - just want it to be as correct as possible. Again - thanks very much.

No matter what you get, buy/borrow a steamer and use it to form the carpet after your final fitting.

It makes a Huge difference!

CCCC · 09-27-2017, 12:15 AM

Thanks Chad - will do exactly that.

cla511 · 09-27-2017, 07:39 AM

Does anyone make carpet besides ACC?

I've used it and have been very happy.

**halfstep** · 09-27-2017, 09:36 AM

We need to see some nice photo's (interior, exterior, engine bay) in order to confirm.

**tim71** · 09-27-2017, 04:26 PM

Here is an ACC carpet in medium saddle. Original fit was good but looks even better after laying out in truck for awhile. Only complaint is hi-beam grommet is black and not same color as heal pad. Carpet purchased from Stock Interiors.

Did a good bit of research based on what you fellows posted - looks like i will go with ACC from Stock Interiors. Color samples are on their way. Thanks, again.
