What does BTDT mean?
Anyway, if you take out the old carpeting and lay it on a large flat surface
(like a garage floor), you should be able to create an accurate pattern for
new carpet panels. Any carpet shop that sells remnants should be able to
give enough material of virtually any style, color, pile, etc. VB sells
those ring shaped snaps that you'll need, for cheap, and the only
challenging part (maybe a professional could sew it for you) is the shifter
cover piece.
The replacement kits, while original, also apparently include the original
vinyl trim between some of the pieces, and it tends to wear over time, just
like the factory carpets did. You could probably produce a repro carpet set
for under $50.
I've got my wife interested in recarpeting the Midget this summer. She's
looking for a style that won't trap dog hairs!
