Price doesn't natter much, but al the carpet on ebay and the places i have been calling offers only front replacement. This does not cover the rear seat area (being that i don't have a rear seat). Anyone know of any that has a one piece setup?

Being the cars were all built with rear seats, you're on your own to get that area capeted. Time to get friendly with an upholstery shop.
 
Get some particle board and some foam padding and an old bedsheet (a flatsheet actually). cut the foam to fit in the spots where the two seats were You might have to stack a couple of pads on top of each other. cut the particle board to fit over all of the foam, and then wrap it in the bedsheet and staple the sheet together. Then put carpetting on. Get a big piece of carpet and cut it to fit the trunk and your backseat area, so it will look better. You can even use extra carpet for the sides around your speakers:thumb:

sounds harder than it really is:D

Have you done this? If you have, PLEASE post pics. I'm doing something very similar to this in a few weeks, and I want to see how it will look.

I'm debating what to do with the back seat area right now. I think it'll look good if I wash and wax it. :)

I haven't done this to my car, I'm still debating on it. We did it to my buddy's 97 gst and it looked clean. I'll see if I can get him to take some pics and post them, or mail them to me or something.

LOL, We got the idea from my grandmother, who ironically, is a trading spaces fan;)
 
Hey there, I work for 1aauto (www.1aauto.com). Our listings say the carpets are for 91-94's, but if you want I can find out if they are the same as a 90. I have two 1990's myself and I was going to get one for my car, but havent gotten one yet. Anywho, send me a message or give me a call toll free at 888-844-3393. Ask for Jeremy. Im there 8:30-5:30.
Hope I helped!

Jeremy,

Thats funny because i ordered it front there a week ago. They also sent extra carpet for the rear sections $208 was the total for carpet, 2 yards of extra and shipping.
 
That sounds high... On the site it says the carpet is about 110 and shipping to any of the 48 lower states is $16. They charged you that much for an extra couple of yards? Unless your carpet is different from what I am going to order.
 
Hi again,
Extra Yardage on all the normal (non-extreme color) cutpile colors is $30 per yard, and it is cut off of a 70 inch wide roll. It is a pretty good size piece of carpet so it has to ship in a seperate box than the carpet itself. Anywho, if you have any questions let me know, I will be at work shortly :) 888-844-3393

Anyone know if a 1990 and a 1991 are the same dimensions as far as carpet go?
 
From the dealer, $160 I think. The black carpet I have came from www.accmats.com . It needed trimmed a little, but its very good quality.

hello guy's, first of all happy new year and I wish you lots of power and tuning ..

but now my question, is the carpet from a normal 95-99 Eclipse the same of an 98 Spyder??? thx


Spyders on top ...
 
well im not sure what you mean by a "normal eclipse" now theres coupes and convertables, sooo which is it gonna be :laugh:
 
The 95-99 coupe and the convertible are different carpets. The floor in the rear seat area is different between the two. With enough effort you may be able to make it look presentable if you are desperate and creative.
Hope I helped!

Jeremy
 
ok I just did a search for new carpet and it came up w/ nothing. I got some tan carpet and it's pretty tired,so I was wanting to just buy some new replacement carpet. Does anyone know where I can find some new replacement carpet for a 1g? thanks
