I know JC Whitney sells carpet to match the interior, or you could always try a boneyard, see if you can find a wrecked lightning. I made a box to fit under my back seat and I carpeted it with some stuff I found at Pep Boys that was actually designed as a carpet for that spot under the back window or some cars? It matches well, though not perfect

Pep Boys Auto Parts store sells short rolls of carpet. I made a box for behind the seat in my 97 and they had the exact shade.

Look for a fabrics wholesaler in your yellow pages.

I get all my carpets, vinals, tweads from a wholesaler by me and there cheaper too! They will have pretty much what ever you want and they can mathc it exact. I had no idea there was such a variety of coverings until I stepped in there and got lost after the first row.

your not going to want to get a regualr truck carpet because it won't stretch and fit right. More or less you want a carpet thats kinda like the material int he back of most peoples trucks. Like the bed rugs. They should have that in plenty of colors to come close.
