If you're looking for one, try http://www.stockinteriors.com. At around $135 shipped to your door, it was worth a gamble. It arrived in 2 weeks and I installed it last Sunday. To my surprise, everything went well. My interior looks a lot better. It is certainly not OEM fit or quality but what can you expect for $135. You will need to do a little trimming here and there and a few basic tools to do it.

I think J something Whitney.com also has one for the s14 but at twice the price.

That's it for now...time for me to snooze..

I'm thinking of getting an interior there. I know that trimming is involved, but wondering what you're doing to keep it secure? I know in the rear, you can secure it down, but wondering about how you secure it down in the front?

Any kind of industrial glue to spray it down? I figure I won't need too much, as I'll have it secured down in the back and the front of it will be secure by the dash.

Pics also.

you HAVE to trim it, that's how all interiors work...it's to ENSURE fit and finish believe it or not...

and you shouldnt have to really secure it much, it should be molded therefore it will fit like a...mold

I didn't use any glue. I don't think you'll need it because the carpet is molded. There are also various bolts that go over the carpet and that will additionally secure it to the floorpan. If the pics upload correctly, you'll notice some flaws. Some are my fault ( I trimmed off a little too much), others are from the manufacturer (molding around tight corner is not perfect). The quality or carpet does not look that good either and only time will tell how durable it is. I'm planning to get some floor mats soon so that shouldn't matter.

It should take 4-5hrs to do. I only use a sharp box cutter, scissors, screwdriver, phillip, and a few sockets. It should be very doable.

hope the pics upload correctly....enjoy people
