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.
