I hate sounding like a dick but google is your best friend.
I simply typed "molded carpet e30"
this is what popped up
2 finds on the first page You're gonna have to do some research to find what you want when rebuilding a car. Relying solely on everyone on R3v is a BAD IDEA. Just consider yourself lucky that I got here before the flammage started to hit. Good luckOriginally posted by Wh33lhop -

It's expensive as hell, but you could go to the dealer and order the carpet. It'll take a month or 2 to come in though...Comment

What's wrong with your carpet? I re- dyed mine with RIT black dye and it looks great and isn't crunchy like the spray paint dyes.
No amount of power washing or bleach would touch that stain.

Here is a crappy pic. The carpet blends in with the dash and console well. Also I painted the lower kick panels black so that helps.

How did you apply the dye?Comment

Take the carpet out and get about 4 bottles of dye. Clean the carpet well and rinse it and let dry. Take 2 bottles of dye and mix it with boiling water per the directions. Pit it in a spray bottle and soak the carpet. You might have to mix more depending on how much you spray. I let it soak in for a few hours then mix the rest of the dye and go over the whole thig again. Now I let the carpet completely dry with the dye in it.
The next day I took a water hose and scrub brush and sprayed it and scrubbed it until all if the excess dye came out. Let it dry again. Hanging it up lets the water runoff and it will dry much faster too.
Then I bought some vinyl and carpet paint and painted the heel pad to match the rest of the carpet. You also might use the spray paint to go over any spots where the dye didn't take because of stains.
Then re-install.
Total cost about $15.sigpicComment
