New Interior Carpet?
Looking at old posts, it seems the question has never been answered:
Is there anyplace that sells a good replacement carpet
for the FB (especially the rear hatch)
I know Victoria British and Mazdatrix sell some, but does anybody have some personal, firsthand experience with the quality of them?
I found this:
http://www.car-carpet.com/Merchant2/...y_Code=Mazda10
But no pics either. I want to replace my capreting, and I want to avoid a whole "custom" setup, if a nice, quality "molded-to-fit" carpet is available somewhere else.

My friend bought it from Victoria British and he has nothing bad to say about it. All he really said though was how RED it was...maybe because it has too much dye or maybe because he's just used to faded carpet.

actually there is a place called 1A Auto www.1aauto.com that will sell the complete set in almost any color for 204.95 after shipping and tax. they send me samples so u can just ask for a color and they will send as many close matches as possible....nice people too. btw they are molded to an orginal floor pan

I have the black rear deck carpet from Victoria British and it's good quality; resisting fading for a few years, now.
I used large rivet-snaps to keep the rear deck carpet drawn tight, and to prevent flapping in the wind. Snaps allow for easy removal to access to spare tire, too.

I'm planning on taking a look at Fryer's Auto Upholstery in Vancouver, Washington. I found them by doing a search on Google. I have seen 1A auctions on E-Bay for $180, but Fryer's has molded carpet for first gens for $99.
They are also close to me so I hope to avoid s+h charges. I haven't seen the kits yet but I plan to go some time this week or next.
I'm also planning on purchasing a WheelSkin's leather steering wheel wrap from them.
Anyone have any experience with them?
