Default carpet replacement

Any tips on replacing the carpet in the front? What bolts/clips do I need to remove? Where can I get a replacement? I'm sure it's a fortune from Honda.

i just bought some gray carpet and formed it to the stock old carpet, then put them in the car together, turned out pretty good, and not 387.00 dollars. Also it is much much more plush than the thin oem carpet

There was a guy here a while back who redid all the carpet with added soundproofing. It was a great job. I wish I could find the thread. It was on a blue G1 he was selling.

Hey Jeff652, if that parts Insight you have is Silver I could use the drivers side back wheel cover ...my prior owner did a paint job that does'nt match too well. It also has a drywall screw as part of the mount...

I need to replace it, it's the only eyesore on this car.
