Has anyone bought the carpets for sale on eBay that supposedly fit the Fiero?

My 88 Beechwood carpet is showing a bit of wear on the driver's side and I am looking for a very clean replacement. Used is very hard to find unless it is also work or dirty

Has anyone bought the ones on eBay / Pictures or review to share about fit, color, etc?

I did. My advice: Save your money. The fit was bad. The material was disappointing. I went back to the original carpets after taking them getting them out of the car ans having them professionally cleaned but YRMBD (your results may be different).

If you're planning on keeping the car and the carpet is really bad, I suggest you bite the bullet and take it to an upholstery shop and get custom carpets made. If the wear in the carpet is due to heel damage, etc., you can think about having an upholstery shop to sew in a rubber or carpet mat over the damaged area.

I got carpet from the Fiero Store. The carpet is not the best of quality but it does work. There is plenty of material and it will need to be trimmed down to fit properly.

I bought one of those carpets off Ebay, the fit and finish is decent at best, even with the extra material that needs to be trimmed off.

The mats that I purchased on eBay made by Lloyds Mats were really well made and absolutely beautiful . The so called "molded" carpet that I purchased from Trim and Things required a lot of fitting. It took a ton of work, extra jute and much cutting to make it fit. Mr Mike recommends placing the new carpet over the old and that is what I will do next time. The old carpet has the shape and the new will just follow it. To replace the carpet the seats, back side pillar trim, back panel, bottom door panels, shift and center console need to be removed. Figure about a days worth of work.
