We have been working with ACC carpet for a number of years in offering their product line to our customers and vendors. One thing that we do is that all of our carpet sets are left "untrimmed" along the sides and the top of the carpet. It is a bit more work to trim the carpet, but these extra couple of inches gives you the ability to position the carpet to best fit the profile of the floor pan and place the heel pad in the correct position. If you start to think about how much material they save just by being able to save two inches off of each side and the top, then they are well ahead at the end of the day.Carpet.....
I prefer shaved; but if not, it should always be neatly trimmed and most importantly match the drapes
Don from ACC will be actually at Carlisle with us on Wednesday, Thursday and early Friday morning. They have been gracious enough to give me a number of hats and a gift certificate for the FBBO tent activities for that weekend.
Roger from ACC was important in getting the rubber mats available for our cars and Don helped in putting in place the trunk mats for the early B-Body applications. Most of their service reps who actually come out and visit with the vendors are true car guys and that really helps in getting a problem resolved or getting product developed.
