I got one from year one , it came in a box that said trim parts on it (saw pretty much every one selling these at Carlisle) and don't like the fit. Year one says ACC makes it. I'm sending it back. Who else is there to get one from? Last edited by yella71; 07/21/15 12:26 AM. 71 challenger convertable, 64 sport fury 383 ci with factory air 99 sebring convertable 89 CTD pup

ACC is ECS's supplier, but Dave's carpets are handled differently than ACC's standard run, Dave established strict guidelines for ACC regarding the production, mat'l, trimming, handling, packaging, etc, even down to tolerances regarding the driver's footmat location

What my restorer does, is order a ACC carpet early in the week. That way it gets delivered before the end of the week, and has only been rolled up in the box for a couple days and hasn't "set" in the rolled up state. Then upon receiving it, he unrolls it in a place that gets alot of sun, and leaves it there for a week or so before installing it. End result is the same flat carpet ECS sells for about half the price. I just looked at it briefly when I visited the shop last month, but from what I can see, looked great! I don't know if he orders directly from ACC or what he does. Certainly if you get it through a reseller, it may have been sitting rolled up in their warehouse for a while before it was shipped to you? Or maybe the carpet is dropped shipped directly from ACC?

Factoring in the price of the carpet plus the shipping is where I'd been told the approximately 1/2 the total cost by buying from ACC came from.

When Trim Fit came out they were much better. I guess the competition made ACC improve their product. '.. it was long ago and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today..'

I said that nowhere on the box or carpet did it say ACC. Of course no response to that. I just want a good fitting carpet... 71 challenger convertable, 64 sport fury 383 ci with factory air 99 sebring convertable 89 CTD pup
