All of the aftermarket carpet sets are a "basic" grade material...not premium grade like in the new cars & trucks. That is why the cost is so low...full molded & trimmed carpet for about $150...that is cheap!
I have used ACC carpet in black and had NO issues with fading. This was in my CJ-5 six years ago. It sat outside in the summer sun with NO top, direct exposure to intense sunlight. I was very surprised to read horror stories on this message board when I joined.

I bought Trim Parts carpet for my project truck because it was a package deal with my gas tank carpet. I have done a mock up install and it fits great and looks identical to ACC. I have not had it sitting in the sun for any length of time so I cannot comment on whether it fades or not.
