I can understand why they prefer having the car there to make their own
pattern. If you want to send the guys your carpet, that would be a good
thing for you and other B owners. Don't mean to sound ungrateful, but the
deal is for someone who is willing to actually take their car there. This
will provide a much better fit. Although if someone is interested in
duplicating the OEM, the old carpet would be good. These guys specialize in
resto work.
