Default Carpet

Hi I'm looking for some interior carpet I have the cashmere in the front and would like about 3 yards of it for the front side of a speakerbox I'm building and 6 yards of the ebony for the rest of the box I think it would look cool if the front matched the front interior and the back matched the back. I would like to know if you guys can help me find some.
Thank you

Obviously, you can order carpet from any dealer . . .but it will be cut for a specific area of the car.

I'd guess you go to a carpet store and buy something that matches or comes close / / /you're not gonna find it in bulk in anything other than pre-cut for Vette sizes . . .

You could also try a Corvette junk yard or post in the parts section to buy rear deck pieces from wrecks in the colors you want and try to make those work. . .

In my mind, those are the best options.

Look for an auto/boat upholstry place and get it there. It may not be an exact match but very close. (You never know you may get a match)

As a matter of fact I picked up some Dk charcoal carpet for a vette partition I build, and it's 90% right on.

Just FYI. When you order material, the yards come in 36x54". Just letting you know so you wont get shorted.
