Carpet

[Logger10]

I need to order a carpet for my 72 Challenger Rallye. I am considering the Legendary Auto Interiors 2 piece moulded product. Has anyone here used this product? I would appreciate any feedback or recommendations on other products also. Thank you!

I got my carpet from Year One. The manufacturer is actually ACC. Not sure if Legendary gets theirs from ACC or not. I was very happy with ACC's product. If you are in a hurry, find out which dealer can drop ship it quickest if you can't buy direct. Good luck.

Check RockAuto for best prices, as mentioned ACC is the only vendor for carpet.

I have ACC carpet in my 70 Challenger and like it.

The OEM carpet was not of high quality. I got ACC, It fit just fine and looked original.

If not going for stock restoration, go with Essex.
It's modern style cut pile, not the older loop carpet.

ACC Carpet question??

I got mine from Classic Auto Carpet and paid the extra for the mass backing, which is a kind of heavy rubber backing that is bonded to the backside of the carpet. It was definitely worth the extra cost! The carpet laid down great and looks really good and the mass backing helps a lot with the sound deadening.

Look for postings for 5% off sale at rock auto, there’s usually several of them.

I got the ACC carpet from RockAuto. I ordered the stock weave style, but opted for the mass backing.

ACC carpet, mass backing?

I agree, I recently helped install an ACC carpet. It was super thin; I could see daylight through it while holding it up to the sun. It is nowhere near the thickness and quality of factory carpet. I’m wondering if they outsourced them to China. Also, it wasn’t molded accurately at all; big bulges and wrinkles in all the wrong places. If I have to steam iron a carpet into submission I might as well use a better/thicker generic carpet.

That was not my experience with the ACC mass backed carpet. Floor contour molding was not perfect where the seat belt retractors sit on the floor for 70 models, but it was pretty darn good. Here's a pic before final trimming for the door sill plates.

I am very happy with my carpet. Acc was the vendor.

ACC is the only mfg of auto carpet. They bought out their competitors, so no matter who you buy carpet from, it is ACC carpet. All I've ever used is ACC, and never had a complaint. Rock Auto is usually cheapest.

Thank you all again for your replies!

No steam. When I first received my carpet I unpackaged it and laid it out "flat" for several days in a spare room in the house, then prior to installing it i laid it out in the sun on a tarp in the driveway. The pic I posted was probably also taken a few days after the initial install, so carpet may have had a few days to settle into place.
