    ACC supplies many of the auto parts places with the replacement molded carpets. From my experiences, the fit is average to disappointing. The mold that is suppose to fit the specific car is questionable.
    Be prepared to lay it out in the hot sun first to get some of the wrinkles out. Be prepared to trim and cut holes. Buy the upgraded carpet for better quality with padding. I was debating replacing my 75 Ford carpet recently. Based upon previous experiences, I will live with the original stuff that is in it.
    I did luck out and found a nos carpet for one of the Lincolns. Now that is perfect, as it should be.

        Yeah we did my buds carpet in his grand Cherokee once and we opened the box like...uhhh thought it was direct fit lol. We ended up trimming almost a foot out of the width of it in some spots. So im expecting it, wanted to know who had the best. I'll also dynmat most of the floor while we have it out. Also need to decide if i want to color change it or not.

          It actually is going into my 89 TC signature. My other 89 TC still has perfect carpet.

            Junkyard carpet isn't too hard to find it you look around enough to find one not completely nasty. Pressure wash and/or steam clean. I'd imagine 90 carpet is similar to aero carpet rather than pre-90 carpet. Anyone confirm that?
