Default Flooded CETA resurrection. Need carpeting!

Long store short i lost most everything in Harvey and after a long battle with the insurance company they are allowing me to get my buy back my CETA (at a steal i might add!!). It only had a few inches of water in it which i have already cleaned but what i need now is some carpet (front only) and i was hoping you guys would know the best place to get a quality set. Thanks in advance!

I bought a replacement carpet from stockinteriors.com and like it a lot!

i went with Black, but they will match the Ebony color if you want an exact replacement.

I also went with the plush and extra mass backing, I wouldnt do the Mass backing if I was to do it again, but A+ on the plush

The carpet is one whole piece and you might be able to find some on ebay.

Why wouldn't you do the mass backing if you had to do it again?

If you're going to add mass, you really should use it in the dampener mat form that sticks to the floor. The mass on the underside of the carpet isn't as effective (lb for lb) and if you're going to add weight it should be done in the most effective way.
