Default Thinking about replacing my carpet

My carpet is stained and has seen better days. Other than the carpet, the interior looks new. So, I'm thinking about replacing it. The only thing I've been able to find in my price range is this from ebay:

Has anyone went the ebay route for carpet? Or what other alternatives can you suggest?

Take out your carpet, hang it over something like a ladder, spray it liberally with degreaser (I used 100% Simple Green on mine), then pressure wash it. You will be amazed at the dirt that comes out. Once you have sprayed it all, put it out on a table in the sun to dry out. It will look close to brand new.

That would be great but it won't fix the holes that are worn in it. I have done this successfully on other cars though. Thanks for the tip.

It has the factory floor mats. Unfortunately, they don't cover the holes.

I've never ordered off this site but I have been looking around myself for a new carpet. Here's what I came up with for a good new carpet , It's $70 more, but it's molded, 1 peice carpet with padding and a heel guard so no more holes in the carpet where your heel is.

I know anything StreeTrends has can be found cheaper somewhere else. Do business with them at your own risk. At one time one couldn't go anywhere on this forum without reading complaints about these people,and their questionable practices.

Personally, the only carpet I would use would be from Auto Custom Carpet. They are top quality carpet. Molded. Excelent fit and not overly expensive. Not the cheapest, but well worth the money.
