Hello all,
Any suggestions where I can get an aftermarket (or discount OEM) interior carpet/flooring for my wife's car.
(Not floor mats, but the whole interior carpet).
I don't want to pay dealer prices, yet don't want it to be too cheap either.

I know, I want my cake and eat it too.
Thanks,
Chapp

eBay is the best place to get used oem parts from cars that are parted out

Salvage yard for used replacement. Auto upholstery shop for new.

If your carpet is just dirty or soaked with coffee stains etc,....I power washed mine at the local DIY car wash.

Did you take it out of the car?

It's got some kind of red ink looking stain.
It was there when we got it, but wife never liked it.

I've tried to get it out to no avail.
Thanks.

Forgot about ebay.

Full carpet still available from Lexus… for $1600 I’d take it to a competent upholstery/upholstery repair shop and see if they can get it out or repair it. Not sure what you’ve tried yourself, but carpet cleaning solution (or something a little heavier), heavy agitation, and extraction with a carpet cleaner or vacuum has always done wonders for me.

I want Black carpet for my car and thought it would be easy to get on ebay.

So I trolled the listings for almost 2 years and did a "saved search" for email notifictions and all that ever came up was one listing and the carpet was beyond trashed and nasty. lol
Haven't checked in a while since I pretty much gave up.

Yes,… I pulled out the seats, the center console, partially removed the weatherstrip around all four doors B pillar lower trim. It’s a big job. I then took it to the car wash and had a big tarp in my van ( To protect the interior of my van from the water coming out of the wet carpet on the way home)… power washed it and after I got it back home let it dry in the sun for three days. The spots that were still permanently stained I lightly sprayed coats of Krylon plastic beige paint followed by brushing in all directions between coats to keep it from getting stiff. Once back in the car it all looks good. You might just try the Krylon plastic paint trick. Remember: light, light coats, let it dry briefly to the touch, then brush in all directions between coats and after done to ensure the carpet fibers remain flexible and not stuck together
