This is where I got mine and I think it's an ACC brand carpet. Mine doesn't quite fit all the way to the edges up by the firewall of the truck, so I'm disappointed in that and I've heard others say that as well. However, others have said their's fit fine. I would say though that the carpet molded really well around my center hump and elsewhere. I just had to use a hand steamer to get things molded right and I suspect any carpet would need that to happen, but I can't say for sure. You may have trouble finding different carpet's based on the color you want.

I should be more clear, edges up by the firewall meaning the sides (carpet too narrow). I went out and took a couple. Everything else was just fine. I first figured I didn't have all the wrinkles out and needed to be flattened more, but I couldn't get any more width out of it. I didn't want to go to the extreme of boxing it up again and sending it back so it didn't matter to much to me, even though I didn't care for it too much. But, my floor is black along with the carpet, so it blends in better. I couldn't get to the other side easy to take a pic, but it's pretty much the same for the passenger side. It was like the design was just off. No matter how I oriented the carpet, the best I could make out of it was what is shown.

Trust me, I'm annoyed, but I haven't really heard of any quality place yet that supplies consistant quality carpet. There was a thread awhile back somewhere discussing this very topic and I didn't think anyone came up with a place that was great. I figure the carpet will be wore out in no time so I will replace and hopefully can get a better carpet.

Never tried it, but I thought it comes from the same company ACC carpet. There are a couple of different styles that vary with what color available, so another style may be better, I don't know. And it might just be that "hit or miss" thing. One time you get a good mold and the next not.
