Default Carpet & Sound Deadener

-Carpet
Anyone know any good sites where I can get cheap (preferably colored) carpet? Looking for some red or black 3dr, 95 hatch, carpeting. Still a little uncertain if I want black or red carpeting since my doors, dash and back is all painted black. Just need to finish up with the pillars and roof, which will probably not be painted but wrapped in some type of cloth. Other little things are gunna be red (stitched boot, air freshener, red numbers on oem shifter)

-Sound Deadener
I'd rather not waste money on a big name sound deadener like dynamat or something, I'm just looking for something cheap that will work. Or even a homemade diy or something. Someone said he used stuffing like which they use in teddy bears and it worked great, but I think if it were to get wet it'd stick like a b!tch.

So in a nutshell,
Anywhere to buy molded carpeting?
Should I go black or red on the carpet and roof?
Cheap sound deadener?

kay so, after a little research about b quiet and dynamat, it turns out dynamat is VERY good, sticks well, lasts long and works well however, it is VERYYYYY overpriced.. everyone that has used b quiet said that it is the same, if not better than dynamat, and the price is wayy better than it. however, over time (mostly in colder areas (canada, upper states)) the b quiet came unstuck on some parts. but for the price, it's not hard to use a little bit of glue right?

So I'm leaning toward b quiet right now, and trying to find a saved convo of a buddy that recommended something else for me

^ if anyone cares

and for real guys, sound deadening is a must if you care about your music at all, it gets pricey but it's worth it

I have dynamat, yes expensive, but it all depends where you buy it.(just stay away from local stores and stick to online)

I got a 36 square foot kit from ebay, $130. Just search dynamat xtreme bulk

I was able to get both doors, trunk lid, lower trunk, and license plate. Maybe I'll do floor panels eventually, but for now I'm fine.

yeah, was reading up on it, and some people said that if you think dynamat is so much better, you're better off buying double the b quiet and just doing 2 layers

edit: some site said that dynamat is 1mm thicker than b quiet, could be wrong
