Default Where to buy carpet?

So, I'm in need of some carpet for my daily driver. It's a 93 Civic Hatchback. I've seen carpet on ebay, and it just doesn't look like its worth it. Are there any other place to order from, other than Honda? Its around $325 from Honda, which isn't too bad, but if there is a reputable place that has nice quality, and will save me some money, I'll do that.

My buddy got carpet for his DA a few years back. It was all black already cut/molded/and everything, it was really nice. I will text him tomorrow to see if he recalls the place he got it from.

ACC is one of the best known places, and they heavily advertise in most of the mod magazines. www.accmats.com

You can pick just about any color of the rainbow for the common cars, and different types of carpet too. There are some mixed issues with installing non-OEM carpet, so keep that in mind. You might not have all of the cutouts and reinforcing pieces and that type of stuff, but that's not an issue in most cases as all of that will get covered by seats, trim, etc.

There are a lot of places out there, google "automotive carpet" and you'll get a ton of stuff. Try to find reviews from customers on forums and stuff though, because some of the aftermarket carpet fits like complete shit.

Thanks. I will. I've already dealt with one company a few years back, and it was complete crap. If I have to, I will just get it from Honda. I was just seeing if there were comparative alternatives.

I've tried 3 or 4 in the past, and came to the conclusion that there aren't any carpet companies that can reproduce OEM-fit. Your best bet is to shell out the $$ and go with OEM.
