carpet for spyder

[gogoquadzilla]

does anyone know where i can get molded replacement carpet? all the companies i have called dont make it for the convertible.

My best friend (ex-DSM, now a Supra owner) bought his carpet from www.stockinteriors.com.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've called around and have been told that Mitsubishi actually hired a contracter to do the interior of the spyder, and therefore, there aren't any "OEM" replacements available. I was quoted a price of about 3-4 hundred to replace the carpet with padding underneath by some random upholtery(sp) guy. I plan on going this route whenever I get my car back from Turbotrix.

Good Luck!

3-400. crap. that sucks. :thumbdown

Im curious. What's the difference between the layout of a coupe and the spyder?

 

[DeraJ]

I was told that the floor pan in completely different. Plus there is no hatch to be carpeted, I'm not sure what the back seats are like in a Hardtop, but the Spyder is basically a cushion sittin on the gas tank.

According to this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...tem=7931257023&category=33697&sspagename=WDVW

They are the same.. But then it's ebay. But it shouldn't bee too terribly hard to make it work, I mean, it is the same body and all, just different roofing.

i'm almost certain that the company putting that ebay auction up (stockinteriors.com) was one i called in search of carpet and they said they didnt have it. i'll call again in case i havent yet, i dont remember i've called so many places. BUT if i'm not mistaken the rear seat in the convertible is a bit closer the the front seats than in the coupe so its not exactly one size fits all. can anyone confirm that?

if i have gray int you think a black carpet would look odd ? (curious)

 

[DeraJ]

As previously stated, I was told that the spyder floor pan is completely different. I have gone through about 20 different companies, all say similar things.

As for getting a black carpet, I was thinking about that, but was turned off when I saw a black carpet in another car with grey interior, clashed IMO, but do what you wish.

are spyders use the same carpet as a hard top
I got burnt orange carpet from ACC and it is for a hard top and is the same as ours

 

[gogoquadzilla]

is that your final answer?

I'll see if I can check it for you tomorrow. My daughter has a hardtop.

 

[DeraJ]

Deffinetly check and tell us whats up...maybe i've been fed bullsh!t for some time now.....damn i need a new carpet....

 

[wret]

Sorry to report, they are different, though slightly. The corners by the outside edges of the seat are different.

 

[gogoquadzilla]

looks like it might be worth saving a couple hundred bucks and getting the hardtop carpet and living with a little wrinkle back there. no?

 

[DeraJ]

ya get what ya pay for...i had to learn that the hard way, redo's are a waste of time and money.

i was planning on ordering a carpet for my spyder. black in color. worst thing that could happen is, it doesn't fit, i cut it short, or go down to the upholstry shop, get extra carpeting, and do it myself. 100 dollar ebay carpet is alot better than $400...

 

[gogoquadzilla]

F this im going to wal mart and getting some fabric dye. or maybe i'll just go at it with some permanent markers.
