    New Black Carpet

    As you all know I'm in the progress converting my interior black. The back seats are finished, just have to finish sewing up the front seats. I havent had much time with work and school, but I had some free time today to install the carpet. I ordered it from a place called the Trim Store on Ebay for $120, at first I thought the carpet was going to be cheap and didnt fit properly. I was wrong the carpet is actually thicker than the stock carpet and the fit is perfect. They also take custom colors as well, I got the carpet in 3 days flat via UPS. You only have to trim around the edges and cut out the middle for the shifter. It took me about 2 hours that includes taking out the old carpet, trimming and fitting the new carpet. Here are some pics

    It's form fitted, molded to fit a 8G. I was surprised how well it was molded, you can see in the pic that I trimmed alittle to much off from the front driver side.

    I just checked this Trim store, and I wonder why the hell there is no carpet available for 7g. This sucks! There is nothing for 7g performance wise either! If it wasnt the 2G Eclipse and a couple of other Mitsubishi models to swap parts from we are done.

    Anybody know where I can get some cheap aftermarket racing seats? I just realized I dont have enough fabric to complete my drivers seat, so I decided to go with aftermarket seats. I've been looking at the ones on Ebay, they look pretty good but I'm worried about how they are going to fit?
