MA GSL-SE carpet sets - looking for recommendations

Hello - looking for recommendations on good aftermarket carpet sets for my '84 GSL-SE. I have the blue-grey interior - anyone found a set with good OEM fit and color match? Thanks!

I think the only aftermarket carpets available are made by ACC. Black Dragon, as well as any ACC dealer, sells them.

Quality is variable. Mine was a terrible fit in my 2nd gen, but the 1st gen has a much simpler floor pan and I hear less complaints about the fit in the 1st gen.

Depending on how bad yours are, you might be able to restore them with a good cleaning. Some of us have had great success with removing the carpet, then taking it to a do it yourself type car wash. Hose the hell out of them with soap until the dirt stops coming out, then rinse. After they dry, you just vacuum them to lift the pile again. A lot of times they come out looking like brand new.

The rear carpet is really bad - it was removed by a PO before I bought the car. All I have is the vinyl pad that sits underneath it. The front carpet is faded, but still in decent shape, so I could reuse that. I picked up a good used OEM rear carpet from an '83 (I believe), but it's black so it's not a great color match, but better than nothing if I can't find anything else.
