Default Color Matched Carpet

I recently removed my backseats and built a platform to place my 2 12'' subs on and soon a crossover, ect. I need to cover the platform and I want it to look factory stock. If anybody knows where I can find the dark grey carpet color for a 96 T/A, please let me know. I need a 5 ft x 3 ft piece. Thanks

I know this may sound funny but check with a local upholstery supply store, most good suppliers have auto carpet. I know this because my father and I have our own side business doing upholstery.

The problem with that carpet is that it looks cheap and is very thin. Holds all the dirt too.

I ended up getting some charcoal colored carpet from O'Reilly Auto Parts. Its actually "garage guard" and meant to lay on the garage floor and absorb spills, but hey it matched the complete cargo area perfectly, it was fairly cheap, and the perfect size to begin with. Now for installation. How would you recommend attaching it to the plywood? Glue? or Staples?
