ACC all the way. Their carpet has always been top shop for my needs. Not sure who makes Trim Parts carpet or if they make it themselves.

Thanks Rick
I have only ever had 1 problem with ACC. I had recently seen a Trim Parts Blue rug that Phil had and I thought it looked good, that's why I asked.

Trim parts colors do not always match the originals, of course black is fine, but with other colors you need to request a swatch beforehand for comparison. Also consider checking the loop of the pile. i've used their nylon/rayon blend in black and the mold has been correct and I've been happy with its look and feel. As a bonus it's made in the USA.
