For what it's worth. I've been buying "down in the money" pickups. I bring them home, pull all of the carpet out. Then go get about 5 cans of "Spot Shot". Take it to the car wash spray (liberally) the carpet then use the car wash pressure wash to clean it away. I lay the carpet across the bed of the truck. I had carpet that was so bad it was competely matted down. By the time I was finished and let the carpet dry it looked brand new. I WOULD have replaced it with the rubber instead of putting the carpet back in if I were to keep these trucks but I'm "flipping" these trucks for extra $$$$$. I'm not keeping them.

Essentially what I did. I used a pressure washer and hung it over my fence. Once I got the original carpet back in I found it really didn't look bad at all. The red paint under the seats never came up though but you can't see it. Driver side has never had a floormat in it I don't thin so that is kinda rough but it'll be covered. Overall the inside came out pretty good.

Oh now I see this. That was less than I paid for that vinyl and those look to actually drop right in.
