The interior of my 1999 convertible has seen better days. I've already replaced the headliner and sun visors, but the seats are shot (note.. dealer put in aftermarket "leather" that was always crap), shifter boot has holes in it, carpet is worn to where you can see the wiring harness under it, and front mats have holes in them.
I'm planning to get seat cover replacements from leatherseats.com, and I found a good deal on a shifter boot on ebay, but I'm having a heck of a time sourcing a new carpet (all of the premolded ones say "do not fit convertible") or OEM mats. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. |

the convertible if i remember is only a few inches shorter than the hatch/coupe so if you can deal with the extra slack it will still work

Thanks for the info. If it's only a matter of carpet being too long, that's not a problem at all.

no it wont fit period, i had a coupe carpet and it was a nightmare, believe it or not, the convertible carpet may fit others but nothing fits the vert, i bought the last carpet from toyota.
i had to cut in a lot of places, and ended up throwing the carpet away, because the person that sold it to me, sold it with a lot of oil and was never responsible for it and screwed me.... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Thnks for the heads up. I may have to go with custom, as much as I hate to spend the money.

there is a guy possibly parting a convertible. ask him for the carpet. custom carpet for the vert means headache.

id do some junkyard hunting or even search the online used parts places might find a nice clean one, just make sure there willing to send pics of exact item. weird how every 6gc shares alot of the same parts but carpets are different! you can also get a carpet thats not your color if thats all you can find (say tan carpet when you need black) and call up some upholstery places and see if they can dye automotive carpet, dont use the spray stuff it sucks and dont work, but a dye works as it soaks into each fiber. but a upholstery shop could tell you more about that...
