Has anyone bought replacement carpet or headliner from Rock Auto? Are they any good? I will need to replace both in the box. For the carpet I would like the newer style carpet that's not as hairy as the stock box stuff. Anyone know where to get replacements?

ACC mats I have used and have been very pleased. I have also used JC Whitney however their quality seems to have dropped. I would get exact fit instead of messing around using bulk material. It sounds like you want loop pile carpet
Headlining material I buy in bulk from an upholstery shop. Headliners are pretty easy to do. just order more than you need plus some for the visors.

The headliners are easy. Just pull the trim and lights and take it out through a door, a shop should be able to recover it for you for a good price. I used to do mustang headliners for $50 if they brought me the board. This is the one I did for my 85.http://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx

I bought an ACC carpet from RA for my '75 F250. Looks like its a quality piece, and nicely molded, but I haven't actually tried to put it in the truck yet.
I'm curious how good they actually are, because RA has them for less than half what any of the other big parts houses (LMC, NPD, etc), do.**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser
