Find a wreck with carpet, pull the carpet set, clean it & re-install it. That's about the only way it'd be affordable to handle. I've done that in 2-3 older police cars I've rehab'ed for daily drivers before, as long as someone didn't bleed out in the carpet or it's ripped to hell most of 'em will clean. Black carpet hides better anyway...

The other thing you might try is get a black G8 carpet set and do a split install. Carpet front, vinyl rear. I don't know of anyone that's done it but hey, it might work. G8 carpet wouldn't work in the rear without mods because of the stretched wheelbase. But.... it would probably be OK for the front.

The 2011 9C1 I bought new in October had rubber flooring from factory. I negotiated replacement with GM factory carpet (black) with purchase and sale agreement. Matching set of front/rear carpeted mats included. Much nicer look and a bit less road noise. Good luck.
