Carpet and Upholstery question

There a drop shipper for acc as far as I know for carpet.... Better of finding a used one in the color you want hanging it on a fence and loading it up with degreaser, 12% hydrogen peroxide and hitting it with a drill brush and pressure washer to knock output any stains and replacing the jute padding backing on it.

Is your recommendation due to poor quality aftermarket???
 
Yes and you can clean stock ones up pretty well if you know a few tricks so long as there not torn up. Stains are easy. Hell I've dyed them too when there cheap enough but there almost all ways black or grey, can't really fix sun faded colors out side of dye.

I'm gonna totally try this ..
 
Rockauto is a ACC carpet dropshipper. Cheapest i've seen. I purchased hatch carpet from there for my Fox, and floormats for my SN95 from there.

I actually had an issue with the hatch carpet being too big and rockauto had me send it back to ACC with detailed markings on what the issue was. They actually fixed it..and it fix nicely after that.
 
Biggest concern right now is fixing my drivers seat... The rest of the upholstery looks good, but all I can buy is a " set " , not just one seat.. By the time I have a shop fix this seat, I can probably buy the entire set from OC ( NOT OCC).... Just wondering if they are junk or not?? $504 for all of it..
First place I have found that actually has a White interior for an 83 Convertible...

I have to think finding a " decent " black carpet from an 83 Convertible is nonexistant

The front upholster set for my SN95 ran me $400 and i was damn impressed with the quality of it. So i wouldn't necessarily rule it out based on price.

I have no idea of OC quality however

Last I looked ACC was over $1K and it was " 84/85" , which I assume would work..
 
not sure what the " black carpet" has to do with the upholstery?? I was going to call and ask???

Fabric or staying vinyl? I'd suggest acme for the seat covers if vinyl, you can buy just the fronts...


Looks like acme for.upholstery and headliners, acc for carpets. You can shop around and find acme stuff pretty reasonably priced.

Emailed OC and they responded with " so the back of the seats match"? Just looked at my seats and there is NO black or black carpet on them... LOL..
 
So its pretty much the same kit rock auto sells under U632HL. -snow white option for $447 then? And don't forget the 5% off code lol..
