I searched previous posts, and only found some older ones, so I'm asking again. Has anyone purchased from RockAuto? They have the 2 different type's ie: 80/20 and what I'd call high pile type. Looks like Essex brand, ACC part. I want it to fit nice. My car isn't a 100% resto either. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know. Thanks in advance! Jeff

Jeff I have never had a problem with the fit on the E bodies. However, I have gotten some that sunfaded, in my opinion, much too soon. Unfortunately, I do not know who made the faded carpets. I am about to look for a third set in 14 years.

A more recent purchase (maybe 5 years) has held up well.

Still like to know why there are so many different prices everywhere. Quality? just the vendor's overhead? and the RockAuto two different types. Maybe someone in the know will chime in. Thanks, Jeff
