Re: Floor pans

Parts or labor? If you're looking for parts and near Florida, I have an entire floor that I'm looking to get rid of. The driver's rear foot well is marginal, the rest is fantastic. Id be willing to sell the entire thing for $250

Molds are absurdly expensive and there is a good bit of finishing work after the initial stampings for top braces, seatbelt anchors, drains etc
Then they have to sell into a relatively limited market. 3rd gens aren't and will never be as desirable as 1st/2nd gens, so the price per unit (PPU) will be much higher by comparision

Demo/install will be pricey because it's not a flat section R&R. The unibody is a big sandwich of sheetmetal layers. Common areas like A-pillar bases are incredibly complex
Simple looking areas like the floor in front of the seats are not so simple with the inner frame rail structures directly beneath

Simply put, alot goes into them and not many people will actually pay for them
