Default New molded carpet

I've been looking around for any parts supplier that can get ahold of a nice molded carpet replacement for a SC but have come up short. I'm thinking about doing an interior overhaul, and would rather just get some new carpet vs. finding some old used carpet in the color I want.

Does anyone know if a new molded carpet even exists for our SC's?

There is an Aussie company called Knox Auto Carpets who trade on a popular auction site (.com.au). Look for Soarer carpets, and specify left hand drive. My set cost me $180 Australian plus transporation. They will send worldwide.

That's great!! that's roughly 134$ usd, what do you think shipping would cost to send a carpet over here to the states?

I found their auction on the ".com.au site" (#120323081853), this looks promising if the shipping isn't too high! I like how the .au site says "G'day, ebayname" instead of "Hi, ebayname" like the us site does.

I can't really say - $30 or so?

Drop them a note and ask them - they do offer to send 'worldwide', so they should readily know how much $$'s to send to the US.

I think the guy just doesn't want to do business. In the first message I mentined SC400, then in a reply to that I said "left hand drive soarer".. and this is the reply I get.
"Hi there,
Yes we can make left hand drive soarer carpets, i was not sure the SC400 was the same but the only problem is no one wants to ship these carpets over seas because of the size.
Regards David. Ps we can ship them any where in Australia
"

That's funny, considering it says worldwide shipping right on the auction page...

I ordered molded carpet from australia for my imported soarer. Allcarcarpets.com.au or something like that

It was a lot of work, you need to cut and glue the carpet to the stock carpets plastic edges.

Heres a shot from my drivers side.



the rest of the interior is being rewrapped in black materials.
