do you already have that bmr sfc? the floors on both cars are very similar so it can fit/made to fit....or you could just get the correct part and be ahead of the game.

no brands make SFC's for 82-02 as a single part. they are totally different since the floor pan from under driver seat forward is totally different from a 3rd gen.

they will not fit without major modification

For what it's worth, the 82-92 Hotchis part # is 4001, the 93-02 is 4002.
