      High quality carpet?

      I'm fed up with the quality if ACC, which seems to be the only option for carpet. It fades quickly, and I don't care for the feel. Are there any other sources out there? My cart is a 67 Mustang.

      I can shine a light right through the back side of the carpet

      Look into marine carpet. They are a heavier weight. Any good interior shop should have samples available.

      The only way around this guys is to have it cut and sewed at a interior shop. I have never seen a ready made carpet that was good. Hate to say it.

      When is the last time you tried ACC carpet? A few years ago they bought out ACS in order to use the Dorsett carpet that ACS used, and after that the quality has improved significantly over what ACC used to offer, at least for cut pile stuff. I'm not familiar with the loop style because I never sell any of it.
      Weekend projects aren't.

      I cut and sew all of our customers cars, I ordered a kit for a friend of mine that wanted it for a resale car, Fit was not what I would like to see, The carpet was ok. I made it work for him.

      It's probably been at least 5 years since I bought one.
