1aauto.com if you get it on ebay from them its cheaper than off their site, but I beleive the 155 you are looking at if just the passenger area and not the trunk area if not thats a really good price, you are looking at 200 for the whole set.

molded floormats can be had at the same site but you are talking 80 or so for them, also yearone paddock and just about all other mags for these cars.

You know you can use the spray dye on the carpet to make it look new if its not riped or anything right. just get 5 or so cans of it and a good stiff brush and spray it on and brush it up to keep it from getting matted. you can get the dye at any parts store.

but if you decide to go with new carpet you can look at page 5 of my cardomain site in the sig to see 1aauto's carpet wich is acc carpet.

You'll pay $95 for floor mats but won't pay $155 for new carpet?

Funny, but, I made custom floor mats, so that I would not have to get carpet (meaning the new floor mats will cover the old carpet along with the seats to make me happy with the old carpet). Thus, spending only $95 insted of $155, so I saved $60 (in my eyes). Make snese?

Kinda but I think $155 pluc $10 for floor mats at Wal-mart would have been a better long term invesment.

True, but I cannot find a good quality red floor mat (to match my interior) anywhere That and my current carpet is in okay condition, so covering the bad spots up (foot area) with floor mats will help and look great.
