Where to buy carpet?

I need carpet to recover my kick panels and also to put on my rearfirewall in the hatch area(for my fuel cell). I already replaced the front with new black carpet. So Im looking for a big piece of black carpet that I can cut and mold to make the back look good. Does anyone know of a place I can buy a big sheet of flat unmolded carpet? Thanks

I've used both of these places, the first one the carpet is thicker and very durable, but will stretch to fit odd shapes.

This an unbacked cabinet carpet and VERY easy to work with.

Try a local 3rd Gen buddy.

For those areas, you could check the auto section at the local Walmart. Mine has a roll of black "RV" carpet for like $8 or so. It doesn't have a thick heavy backing on it, and it folds, cuts, and shapes easily. It was with the RV and towing accessories.
