Are the pre-molded carpets accurate and make good fitment? What is this with mass backing and is it worth upgrading to it?

The mass backing is the only way to go. It makes the carpet more like original and in my opinion makes it fit a lot better.

I just bought carpet for my big truck from ACC and purchased five additional yards. Came in a separate box rolled up nicely. No backing, wasn't cheap but is the same as the molded stuff for the truck. I used two and a half yards for the back wall of the truck and the rest I'm having my carpet buddy match the dash cover I bought that doesn't match the carpet now. He can put that hem/edge on like Jack mentioned. Will do the same thing with the wagon for the rear seat and rear load deck.

I bought jute on eBay and weatherstrip adhesived it to the back of the carpeting for additional sound deadening. Worked bitchin. Sorry, don't have any photos yet. ...
Scott,
Adding additional jute, or sound deadening to the thin carpet is a good idea.

Mass backing is absolutely the way to go. I highly recommend it, and the other guys who chose it will agree.

I just put in some acc mass backed carpet in my wagon. It is very nice and fit well. It already had additional padding in the factory locations as well. Only downside is it's heavy.

The fit of the ACC mass-backed carpet is exceptional.
