ACC Replacement Carpet Kits

Choose your vehicle application, then compare materials, coverage and options on each listing.

Replacement carpet is the biggest single decision in an interior restoration. ACC molded kits are made for a specific vehicle configuration, so the right choice depends on coverage, material, backing and the car as it sits today. Work through the decisions below before you order.

Every kit in this collection is molded for one stated application, so buying carpet is really a short sequence of decisions. Work through them in order and the correct product usually identifies itself.

First, decide how much floor you are covering

Passenger area kits cover the cabin floor. Complete sets extend further, and some applications run to a dozen or more pieces covering sections a basic kit leaves out. Cargo area carpet is a separate product for the load floor, and loose floor mats and trunk pieces are ordered separately again. Piece count alone never tells you the coverage, so read the included sections on the listing itself.

Second, match the material to the car's era

Loop is 100 percent 6.6 nylon and was the original material in most vehicles built before 1974. Cutpile, also 100 percent nylon in a lighter face weight, became the original material in most domestic vehicles from about 1974 on. Earlier applications also appear in specialty weaves such as Daytona and Tuxedo, as the C1 Corvette sets show. The material is fixed by the application you select, not offered uniformly across every vehicle.

Third, choose the backing

Many kits offer optional mass backing, an EVA layer of roughly 45 mil bonded under the carpet that works as a heat and sound barrier. Owners of regularly driven classics often add it for that reason, and it can also help a molded kit sit flatter. Compare the standard and mass backed versions of your application, since the option and its price vary by product.

Fourth, order color with your eyes open

Surviving trim has faded for decades, and owner forums are full of near-miss shades that looked right on a screen. Where a close match matters, use sample information before committing, and decide the texture and shade before buying several separate pieces in stages.

Finally, spec the car as it sits today

A transmission swap, a floor shift conversion or a replacement console can make the cabin different from its factory specification, and truck tunnels differ between drivetrains. Order for the floor you have. When the kit arrives, keep the old carpet as a template, fix leaks and corrosion first, and trial fit every section before trimming edges or cutting shifter and mounting holes.
