Re: CARPET 71
dont know for sure is Mid America making their carpet? are is it just ACC carpet re-boxed. think most people use the ACC carpet in their cars, also it depends on the year of cars, some mid year guys might like another one better than ACC ect..Comment

Re: CARPET 71
-------It was brought to my attention that Mid-America is moulding thier own carpets. Apparently, Mike felt they could do it better! Good for him. The one set I saw installed was a mid-year set and looked very nice. The difficult to do side-pieces in the rear were much better than any others that I have seen.........Bill SComment

Re: CARPET 71
Mike,
Call each of the vendors (Knoch, MidAm, ACC) and ask for samples of your color. Then pick the one you like, or ask for adjustments as needed. It's not worth guessing on the shade.

Re: CARPET 71
Patrick,
--------What you are saying is, of course, important. More important than that, or at least as important is the moulding. All the good colored carpet in the world will still look bad if its moulded badly. Thats my problem with ACC........Bill SComment

Re: CARPET 71
Bill, is your vette a c3? and your saying the acc carpet did not fit very well.MikeComment

Re: CARPET 71
------No, Mike,,,I havent done a C3 in awhile now but feel that Mid-America is worth a try. ACC may have started by doing Vette carpet a long time ago, but now the bulk of thier income doesnt come from all us anal-retentive types. Used car lots and detail shops are thier biggest target and those kind of guys are very price concious. Therefore ACC seems to have taken a bunch of cost-cutting measures that make for a less desireable product as far as NCRS levels are concerned. These are my thoughts and my thoughts only, but many conversations with other restorers would seem to back me up!............Bill SComment
