Carpet kit

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago I purchased a sewn-molded carpet kit from MSA, but several of the pieces did not fit and a few were actually shipped by the manufacturer as uncut, un-sewn, and un-bound flat pieces of carpet.
Communication with MSA has been, ummm, slow, and after two weeks of emails and phone calls I'm not getting much traction.

Does anyone have a better source for these? I'd prefer not to keep experimenting $300 at a time.

ACC in Anniston Alabama makes the best. Goggle that, put in your car and you'll get their kit number. Then google that. Most places get theirs from ACC. They have an ebay store that's cheaper than buying straight from their business. Look for ACC when you buy. I think it's an acronym for Automotive Custom Carpet. I've been there. They have all the molds from way back. Good luck.

If we tag  @James@TheZStore he'll help resolve your issue with MSA.

i bought one of their kits for my jeep. plain and simple, garbage. i ended up buying another brand that was much better quality and less money. from that, i will say i will not buy an acc carpet kit for my z.

So speaking of carpets... I'm thinking that I'm going to mess with this soon. Problem is, however, that I've made some changes in my interior that would make any pre-formed "kit" not fit right.

Anyone know of a company that will sell appropriate automotive carpet in just flat square sheets that I could cut myself?

unfortunately there is no resolution to the carpet issue.

the sewn/molded kit provided by MSA's supplier is shipped unfinished and will require the work of an upholstery shop to complete the installation. of the 6 pieces included in the kit, 3 can not be installed without additional cutting and sewing.

I installed the molded ACC carpet in mine and am pretty happy with the results.  It's certainly not a drop-in replacement, but I don't recall coming across any that were when I was doing my research.  I took a bunch of photos during the installation with the intent of writing up a how-to post and never got around to it.  If there's any interest, I'm sure I could bang it out in the next day or so.

the 240's and early 260's did not come with molded carpets, and to my knowledge no one makes them today. the closest i can find is the sewn-molded variety which is fine by me.

if any 260 owners have purchased one of these sewn-molded kits and happened across one that fits out-of-the-box please give me a shout.
