I used a factory Ebony out of a 2001 and love it... I'm not sure you can beat the quality (sound deadening included) of OEM without spending A LOT more money than you would on a good (used) OEM piece.

You can get about everything through "Year One". they have a lot of our items. Check them out. Ask for a catalog. they'll send carpet samples as well.
