    I'm assuming you mean carpet moulded to shape? Here's one to get you started:

    http://www.knoxautocarpets.com.au/

    Prices are on their website. I haven't dealt with them personally but maybe someone else here has. They're always advertised in car mags.

    FYI, the main complaint I've heard about moulded car carpets are fitment problems. Not sure though if that is more a symptom of the varying body dimensions of the older cars.

    No, it needs to be moulded carpet to fit snug on the floor and over the centre bump in the middle of the car.
    There is a jerk on ebay selling carpets for about $230 whereis the Knox joint has it for about $150 delivered.

    Get plush or super.

    That's the place where I am getting my boot carpet and also a peice of plush pile for my parcel shelf when I get around to restoring it
