Default Black Carpet

Without shelling out $50 + shipping for a full yard of TruVette, where can I get about one square foot of black carpet as close to oem appearance as possible?

There must be a common commercial item available. While I thought about it, I don't intend to cannibalize from the length on the wall behind the seats. Even if it would never be visible.

I'm just looking to make the new A4 seat install as clean as possible since the new rails don't accommodate the factory plastic covers.

A custom auto interior shop should be able to help you out.

Yep, for around $50 or so.

Check with one of the used parts vendors and see if they have some old carpeting that they could part out a section - perhaps the rest of the carpeting is unusable.

Walmart sells rolls of similar black carpet in the Auto department. It'll be more than you want but it's a cheap alternative.

Does it have to be new? I can cut you a chunk out of a junk car I've got. You can have it for the shipping cost. Let me know.
