You'll save yourself a lot of money if you just get it at a carpet store. Take a piece of the old fabric or an armrest to Home Depot. The carpet you'd buy on the web isn't molded either, I'm really not sure why anyone buys it. For $30 you'll get enough remnants to do the whole van and you'll get exactly what you want. Just trace the old carpet and use a little 3M spray adhesive to tack it down.
