Default Need New Carpet

Where is the best place to buy new or used C5 carpet ?
Mine is the 2004 Shale color. I haven't had any luck finding it at a reasonable price. Any thoughts ?

Do you just need the front floor carpet?
If you really want to save some money you may want to try to shampoo it and get some new floor mats.
I have an '01 with 80K miles and the original carpet still looks like new. What did you do to it?

Previous owner stained it. It doesn't look like it will shampoo out. Could use front and rear set if you know of any. Thanks for the reply.

You would be amazed what those steam cleaners will get out. A full set of carpet will cost a few hundred. It might not be easy to find a used set.

One source could be Mid-America Motorworks. Seems like they have complete C5 carpet sets and the list shale as one of the options.

I would suggest Rock Auto. There are several different levels of quality. And you can go with cabin only, rear only, etc.
