Here is a little DIY for a homemade trunk carpet.

1. You buy yourself a pice of carpet. color as you like :wink: 1,3m x 1,3m

2. Put the old OEM carpet on the new one
Image

3. mark the outline of the OEM carpet on the new one
Image

4. now you cut it out with a sharp knive
Image
Image

5. after that you take some cloth to cover the border ( i used Alcantara )
and stitch it face to face on the carpet
Image

6. the next stepp is you roll the cloth around the border and stitch it again to the carpet
Image
so it looks like this
Image

and this is the end result, a brand new black trunk carpet

Sorry for the white flaces on the carpet, its just some dust.
