Need OEM or OEM-like Trunk Carpet Set for 87 Spider Veloce

Hi all. I seem to have hit a wall and was hoping the collective wisdom
could get me pointed in the right direction.

I recently spilled gear oil on an already old trunk carpet set and
figure its time to refresh the carpet but there seem to be no high
quality carpets sets available in the US.

My carpet is black, the floor is sewn onto a black plastic
strengthening mat, and there is a carpeted door closing off the area
next to where the top folds into that closes with velcro and that has
the alfa symbol stamped in it, and there is a molded bump for the
battery and there is vinyl sewn all around the perimieter to hold it
all in place under the truck seal, except by the license plate side
where there are also plastic gromits that also help keep the carpet in
place.

The only trunk carpet sets I've found were made from thin, cheap
material and were light grey in color. IAP is my primary source for
parts in the US and they are usually good but in this area they
haven't been able to pull through for me.

Does anyone know if there are any carpets sets that sound similar to
my original carpet set available anywhere? A US source for and OEM or
OEM-like set is preferred, but any European source would also be
appreciated. Thanks! Jim

Frankly, I'd get one custom made IIWY.

I have a used set from a 85. Pretty good shape. If you are interested,
drop me a note and I will take some photos. Original item, so it will need
a cleanup and such. Good luck!
