I have the back carpet laid in. Its bout as good as its gonna get The front..... how faw foward does it go? I really like to have the foot pad as close to where its should go. Any one have a nice pic showing the pad In Relation to the gas pedal? Will any of the carpet up on the firewall area need trimed like on the sides?

I don't have a picture, but I bought one last year, pedal ended up placed well, on the front corner of the plastic piece. I had to trim the front a bit to fit smooth under the heater box. Lay it in place and pull it as far forward as the transmission hump will let you.
EDIT: Sorry nevermind, just realized you said E body.

Does the gas pedal unbolt and bolted back down onto the carpet? Cut to fit around it. I got it as far up as it will go before interference. But my pad needs to go 4-5 more inches to be under the gas pedal

I was looking at it yesterday. I have the back layed in the front I got shoved as far foward as I can with out having to trim of the frontend. My pad is no where neer where it needs to be I still like at least 5 inches to even get the front of pad where the floorpan kicks up Is anyone else carpet (acc) like that? And it looks like if I moved it as far foward as pad needs to be. That it will just barely cover the rear carpet

The rear looks like it comes pleanty foward (there is only 2 inches from cuda to challenger) but I looks to me like the pad is way the heck off

Maybe you can post some pics?, is there a possibility that you "think" you've purchased an ACC carpet, and another brand was substituted?, this is common amongst some vendors, just because they advertise ACC, doesn't mean your going to get ACC, unless you specifically ask for it...
FWIW, I have 4 Ebody ACC carpets in my personal cars, auto and 4spd, cut pile and 80/20 loop, the oldest ACC carpet is 30+ years old, the newest about 2-3 yrs old, they all have perfect fit, the heel pad is exactly where it should be, the only complaint I have with one carpet is the 80/20 Grandma loop carpet turned from black to a faded purple (but I'm aware that was an issues up to about 7 yrs or so that has been corrected)
