bought mine at www.50resto.com its the same ACC carpet most places carry. Its molded to fit the stang perfectly and has the rubber heel rests. Most everyone loves the fit and is the best i've seen. I love the way it looks in my stang.

I bought my carpet from CJ POny Parts, pretty good fit. It was molded and it was a pretty good fit for a repo product. It was made by ACC.

Bernie,
I replaced my gray carpet with new black carpet about 2 months ago. Used the set from 5.0 Resto, fit absolutely perfect! No problems what-so-ever! Also put in '03 GT seats and some other stuff. If you go to the Bennegan's with us this weekend you'll see it, I plan on driving the car as long as it's nice out.

Got mine at the Mustang Depot on eBay for about $90 fit is pretty good BUT rear at bottom of seat is a little puffy looking. Afraid that is the way the original was too but was hoping for better! BTW it was drop shipped by ACC directly to me for $10.

Yeah Bernie, I saw them. Just was not sure until a little while ago if I'd have the weekend off. Looks like I'll be there, though.

by the way, the carpet set from 50Resto cost $89, they don't charge shipping, and it showed up in a few days.

Also, if you've got a gray & black interior like most Foxes, black carpet looks great! Goes very well with the black trim on the dash, console and doors!

I just got the carpet. I let it set in the car for a day or 2 before I tried to put the seat in. Just to let it lay flat. Then I stroked it into the corners. Looks great! Even with the cutouts for the roll bar!

Yeah, I just ordered the carpet also. Did not need the rest of the kit. Let the Carpet lay out for a day in The Garage, then stripped out the old interior, installed the new, then let it sit for another 2 days while I was waiting for the new seats to show up. Took me 20 minutes to bolt in the new power seats and all done!
