Default Where to get carpet

So I am curious where you guys get new carpet from that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (250 and up) is all I could find not including shipping. Next does it have to be pre-formed or can it just be automotive carpet and let it naturally wear into place?

Thanks Big Mac, I didn't know about stock interiors, year one is way to expensive.

Is it really worth the 64 bucks for the mass backing or the 87 for the plush cut?

How nice of carpet do you want, and do you want a mostly quiet car?

Glad you brought this up OP. I'm needing carpet in mine and may get some after I get the car back on the road because the carpet in my car is terrible from stains and tears/holes in it from the wearing logging boots and the heels have cut through the carpet.

Paint it and save some cash,have seen a few local dealers do that and believe or not it looked really good,new carpet is nice but sucks to install etc,cheaper carpet (pending on what ya get) might require cutting holes,trimming, forming etc,and all those things arent fun lol,i forget where i got mine from for my old gta,but whereever it was a bitch to do
