Since this is a thread on ECS Carpet and it's quality appearance and features, I though it fitting (pun intended) to show a side by side comparison photo. Notice how our carpet does not bow and hump up along the straight part of the stitched edge. When you see that area exhibit an uneven appearance, you can be sure that the carpet has been folded during shipping! Even without the sill plate installed, our carpet hugs the contoured shape of the floor pan. The back of the carpet is constructed with a hot glue type material and once it is rolled and squeezed into an under sized container, the crisp shape will never completely look as it did when it was manufactured. Our carpet is NEVER rolled/folded from the time it is manufactured to the time it is delivered to our Customers. Would it make sense for your dry cleaners to press your shirts, fold them, stuff them in a box and then ship them to you? While some may think these differences are subtle, it can make the difference in using a product that looks like a Reproduction or a "Factory Exact" part!
