Thanks Jim!

1. Yes. I called around and was told that replacement molded carpets are most likely not available for this vehicle, and that if they are available, I'm looking at $1,000 depending on the pile. My other option is to have the shop put in "bulk" carpet, in which case the seams and sections will be readily visible and it's not going to look factory. Even in that case, the bottom line is $500 because of all the labor involved. I'd rather clean up my factory carpet since it's better quality and will potentially look a lot better than this cheap replacement carpet down the road.

2. I don't have a Shop Vac.

3. Thanks again Hopefully somebody around here can help me out.
