Just went in to my local Nissan dealer, and not only is S13 carpet completely sold out and unavailable, if it were in stock, it would cost… $850.

Don’t know if this link will work

But JC Whitney has new replacement carpet listed for under $200 in your choice of color.

That’s S13 … didn’t bother checking 14

Paint won’t stick unless whatever you are painting is really clean.

For seats and carpeting, take it out, clean it, then stick it in your laundry sink with RIT fabric dye and let that shit soak for a couple days.

I think they even sell it at LOEB for like $1.99.
