That is nice of you.Wanted to loop back on this. Rockauto got a replacement sent very quickly from ACC. I got it today and opened it up after I got off work. Layed it out and it looks a 100% better. No weird creases, no bald spots. To me...and I am no expert, looks like this is a more fresh production vs one that was in a box for months. Laying out now to air out and relax. Will be going in the Cutlass at the end of the month, Lord willing.
Side note...they told me just to keep the last carpet they sent. Rockauto requested pictures of the issues and ultimately said NOT to return it. So I have a claret/oxblood carpet kit extra now with wear mark on the passenger floor board. Got a local guy with a Cutlass that is more of a street drag car. His interior is close to the color of mine. If it is the same carpet color, going to see if he wants it for free to freshen his drag car up. Don't get me wrong it's a dang nice car already! But if I can help another G-body enthusiasts...we are all winning.
How hard was it to deal with rock auto customer service? I have had issues getting through to them in the past.
Also did you go with essex or cutpile? Mass backing or none?
