SCRAPPED-Speedster Carpet, anyone?

I eyeballed some material and did a pretty good job on carpet. But I thought that maybe if someone has a soiled (scrap) carpet kit that can be used as a template that this would be an asset. Maybe I can send $50.00 and buy it and make it available to the next person for $50.00 If anyone has a complete scrapped carpet set I would love to get my hands on it.

I am trying to put exterior carpet (patio type) since I expect that it will get wet. I found a great grey at Home Depot and it looks great. But the fit in the front is a challenge.

There has been a guy on "Samba.com" ( a virtual VW E-bay) That has been trying to sell a complete carpet kit for $150.00 or offer
(black) he might take $50.00

Why not contact JPS and/or Vintage -- perhaps they have a used set of carpet they removed while refurbishing a customer's car and will simply give you the old carpet set to use as a pattern.

Gary:

Are you sure the site is "Samba.com"? That doesn't seem to be the right site.

Yeah Samba is a bank in Saudi....DOH.....He meant www.thesamba.com

I already sent an email to this guy with the carpet but the idea about contacting VS is excellent as well.

As always thanks all.

Problem with using a scrapped carpet set is the it usually is stretched when pulled out especialy the cut out areas get out of perportion . I tried this a couple of months ago and it was not very sucessful. What I did do is make templates for each area out of overlayed paper and then transferred this to a carpet section FYI be sure not to select a indoor home carpet due to the jute backing which tends to not bend and stretch for a decent fit.... automotive or commercial carpet does work well and the color choices are endless.
