I am really sorry I can't say 100%. It came from Classic Industries and was in an OER box. I assumed it was ACC because I also assumed they were the single source supplier for everyone. So I just don't know. The second set was in a ACC box. Definitely different carpet The loop, color of black, and the backing, all different. The stuff from OER was garbage. The headliner that would not install had a PUI label on it. Should have known it was going to be substandard like most of their stuff. I do appreciate the way Ames does "grade" most of their products. That is helpful when buying many aftermarket products. I would give the first carpet set a "D". The second carpet set a "B" The headliner from PUI a D+. Bought a vent cable from Ames for the front vents. It didn't work properly either. It was way too loose in the plastic bushing that is supposed to provide friction to keep the vent in a set position. Had to take it all back apart which is a major job, removing the parking brake and being so very careful. Had to put the cable in a lathe and knurl the stem to provide some friction in the bushing so the damn thing would work like the other 3 original ones. This all took almost 8 hours of labor by the time it was all done. This kind of stuff is infuriating when yiou pay almost $60.00 for a 1 ft. long manual cable that is worth about $5.00. All part of the experience I guess. It's been this way with almost every aftermarket part I have purchased. The only part I can think of that installed perfectly were the bucket seat hinge covers. Looked perfect and installed nicely. Even the seat divider between the back seat and the trunk needed extensive cutting and fitting around the little EVAP canister behind the back seat. And the divider was black instead of tan cardboard like the original one. Had to prep and paint it tan.
