I agree that I'd bring it up with ACC. They have been very nice and accommodating with me. The first one they made...the mass backing was crooked and it had creases (It's all in how they handle it when pressed). The second one (which we installed) was pretty perfect. Two things (if you don't want the hassle of sending it back): 1) You may be able to steam it out. 2) Where it's located, once you trim it, fold down the top and work it in...it may be imperceptible.

I think if you want a factory appearing two piece it will probably need to be a member driven affair. I don't think there's market pressure for ACC to do it. We tried to make this one a no-brainer for them. The passenger side cove piece wouldn't be correct if made from our mold....it'd be too short. So you'd have to make a new mold of a non vent tube truck. I don't know what backing they'd use on that piece.
It may be possible to make this carpet appear factory correct for buddy bucket trucks. There may be enough "tail" on the bottom of our carpet that you could carefully cut out the cove and slide it up. I'd have to think about how you'd adhere backing to it secondarily.
