where is the cheapest place to buy a carpet set for my dart?besides ebay.thanks will,do they fit good?

[IL.DART340- 4SP]

Do not go with the one that cost the least. ACC is a good product. Remmber this is what you see every time you look at the inside of your car.

[flyboy01]

I am as cheap as they come, but there are huge differences in fit with carpet, go with a good one. I am going to order the Year One carpet 80/20 loop.

[warthog]

Has anyone used A1canvas that advertises on e-bay, there carpets seem to be the least expensive but I don't know about quality?  I thought that they were all made by ACC?

[flyboy01]

I bought ACC three different times in the past one for a 70 Camaro, and two for a 94 and 95 Dakota, then I bought a good restoration quality carpet for my 70 Mustang, it fit 100 times better, no wrinkles and no f-ing around with it. Saving $40 is not worth it. Buy the better carpet. Don't be cheap.

If you want 10% off, Year One has a coupon code, HS07A, good for 10% off your whole order.

Just for info. why buy from year one?They get all there carpets from Legendary Auto Interiors Ltd.I bought a carpet set for my 66 Charger (23) pieces from year one and it came in  Legendary boxes. So the next time I was at the mopar nationals I asked a big shot from legendary about it. He said yes we supply them.Why make the middle man rich? Buy direct from legendary 1-800-363-8804 or buy from ACC I will be trying this guy from ebay. They said it was shipped yesterday so I will keep everyone posted on the quality. The item I got was 80/20 loop on clearence price.Reg. cost is just about the same price as ACC. 

[mopardart71]

so maybe i should buy from year one and spend $20 more for better quality?

[mopardart71]

n/m im not gonna pay $160 for carpet damn!

[mopardart71]

how about the paddock? $135,free shipping,wait not free shipping.

Unfortunately I can't suggest a good cheap source for a carpet but I agree with those who have stated the you shouldn't just go with the cheapest one available.

I'm a strong believer in the old adage, You get what you pay for. along those lines, I recently purchased a carpet for my scamp from legendary.

[4spdfury]

i bought a carpet from a1 canvas it doesnt seem that bad. he had a special going $100 shipped to your door. im along way off from installing it so i cant tell as far as fit. the quality seems good.

[mopardart71]

i went to legendary's wesite .didnt see carpet for sale

[mopardart71]

im not lookin for the cheapest,just lookin for a good deal.

[harryhood]

Carpet is under the Interior Soft Trim category.

Not sure where you got that price, Year One is $135 -10% = $121.50. I think Paddock is $130, but no discount.

[harryhood]

im not lookin for the cheapest,just lookin for a good deal.

I was in the exact same boat. After looking around and not finding any definitive answers one way or the other I decided to go with legendary I think I paid $140 for the carpet.

[dart_man440]

how about the paddock? $135,free shipping,wait not free shipping.

FYI paddock uses ACC, that's where I got mine.

[jwmotors]

I have used ACC carpet in several different late model cars and the fit leaves a lot to be desired. We always make it work but their carpet is never molded nothing like the factory stuff and you have to make up for it with more padding. Just my experience installing carpet.

[demon340v]

I got mine off ebay the guy was really nice and even sent me carpet samples i opted to ditch that 80/20 loop for a mroe finer carpet which if i rememebr correctl is teh same carpet used on the late 70's to 80's cars/

And i love it alot more then the 80/20 loop.

If i rememebr corre3ctl i think the main carpet was from the company  AC Dorsett.


Also i hear that they amde some improvments in the weak 80/20 loop on it's fanding properties(why i went for a diffrent carpet)

[flyboy01]

I just went to Year one's site and priced out all the stuff I was going to buy, Holy shit! THeir prices must have gone up from when I priced it out two weeks ago. The carpet did go up to $160, but I fugured I get a 15% discount, so it will still be cheaper. For carpet, headliner, upper and lower dash caps, and a package tray, and few small items, they wanted $540, OK, 15% discount brought it down to $460, OK, all is fine, but next was shipping! Holy crap, F-ing bastards! They wanted $140! Can you beleive that? WTF!

With all that they ship they should be able to get the best price.There shipping charges are way to high.I would like to see there UPS invoice on that one $140.00 kiss my  I ship from local here the ups store all over the USA and Canada with great prices. There shipping charges to customers are out of hand.Why does Year One need to get rich off shipping. Thats why I only buy from them as a last resource.We all that have been spending are hard earned money for years to cover shipping charges.  Should write Year One  a letter about this matter.

[gtxpally]

I bought some interior pieces from Year One recently, a total of 7 different items,  the UPS man made 4 different trips here in a period of about 6 weeks for 7 items.

I am probably going to buy from Paddock, I prefer to buy from someone I have dealt with in the past and can trust, thats more important than price sometimes.

[512Stroker]

Screw it, I am getting pretty much all interior from Legendary... rear seat cover, carpet, headliner, dash cap, windshield and rear window gaskets... easier to buy from one person and price is more on some and less on others so it evens out.

Price was great and was an honest guy. try him out i say. I do not regret it at all, pretty fast on shipping as well

[flyboy01]

I'm not saying he isn't, I just prefer to deal with people I trust from past experiences. If anything, there is a couple in Houston that sell Mopar restoration parts, I like to buy things in person, and if shipping equals my gas bill, I will gladly drive down to get the parts in person.

['73Dusta]

  with flyboy01. I'm also looking for carpet for my '73 Duster and I would rather drive and pickup the pieces so I can see what I'm getting for my money.

Got my $85 carpet today color is correct .Matched the samples they sent me.The pad is correct for under pedals.Now we will see how it fits? The man that does all my interiors has been doing it for 40 yrs.He has seen it all and says without a doubt in his opinion Legendary is the best.Thats the first thing he will ask me before he quotes me a price.Is it from Legendary.
