Trust me. A ported manni compliments the Sterling very well. I just got mine running today. It absolutely kicks the **** outta the RB Holley setup. Sorry for the hijack. Back to carpet.

I would like to see pictures, also. Particularly, close-up shots of the edges and the corners of the carpets.
A set of black floor mats with the Rx-7 logo embroidered in gold would be sharp! (The ones you would take out for special occassions and showing off!)

Great idea!
Besides, I thought the **** gave you rugburn on your knees, Tom.

Sorry, i just switched jobs, been working my *** off at a new shop. It's a ****** killer shop though. If anyone is interested, check out the next huge thing in mustangs, even though i hate fords, it's pretty ****** bad ***. www.thedreamcarfactory.com if anyone is still seriously interested, let me know, i posted that thread a while ago. and does anyone have any shots of original floor mats with the logos, and perhaps a ruler in the shot as well, just for scale as to where the logo should go... thanks

Yup (if you look back, I was one of the first to reply). Still interested in rear carpet, and the piece that goes over the tailights. Burgandy interior 84 gsl-se. Hopefully yours is better quality than the original! That's not a dig at you, but a dig at the poor quality of the mazda rear carpeting!
Somebody mentioned that the rear piece may differ year to year. Mine has snaps in the lower corners which mate to ones on the floor. Don't know if that info help or hurts...

I still need color samples from each color of carpet so that i can match it up with new carpeting. Preferably, ones that aren't faded or worn too badly. If anybody wants to help get the ball rolling, i'll offer a discount for the people who send me a color sample. What were they all, black, red, brown, grey?..?..? let me know if i'm missing any. Thanks.

I'm kind of far to send you a sample, but the rear carpet is almost like indoor outdoor carpet. In other words it looks cheap. I think they should have made the cars with the same sort of "****" looking carpet in the back too. Is this the type you would intend to use, or would it be the indoor outdoor looking stuff?

What i plan to use is cut pile automotive carpet, like the stuff in the front. The stuff they used in the back must have been crap because every one's that i've seen has been missing most of the fiber, and basically looks like a nasty thin mat. And KGRAY, did you get the piece for the rear tail light panel? I am curious to see if anyone makes that, because they always seem to get lost or damaged, or just age really quickly. If no one makes it, or if they make it badly, i'll make it. Thanks

There's a spot underneath the metal strip where it looks like the burgundy didn't fade at all. If you tell me where to send it, I'll gladly send you a chunk in exchange for a discount on a replacement carpet set

David chose to be a complete dick-wad to me in emails about getting him setup as a vendor on the site. As a result his little venture is no more, at least not on this site.
