Default Custom color carpets

I am planning on redoing my interior but with a custom color leather. I would like to change the carpet as well to either match or compliment the custom leather color. Anyone know who is making carpet sets for a coupe, molded for the C5 in varied colors other than OEM? Thanks.

Maybe get in touch with Al Knoch Interiors - maybe they can do something for you.

Thanks. I am looking not to match the exterior (in my case my coupe is black) but to a custom leather color I am considering re-doing seats and dash, door panels, etc. I have just found a site that looks promising. They mold the carpet like OEM but give you options in color and type of carpet. I dont think they are a forum sponser so I am hesitant to post their web site or name.

Good luck with your choice. I did check into other options, however it was mostly on the vinyl/leather side and not so much the carpet. Mid-America, as mentioned, sells the OEM replacement carpet kits, however nothing in custom colors.

The best example, I've seen on this site is the black Z06 with the custom Mercedes Benz "Ash" interior. I think the work was performed by Caravaggio.
