I have a 93 Del Sol that I bought last fall, and am gradually restoring
to pristine condition. I am looking for an OEM carpet in good condition.
I have tried over a dozen wrecking yards; one has a Del Sol, but it
has been sitting there a long time without roof and exposed to the
elements. The interior is full of mechanical parts and empty oil bottles
(plastic), so I think it may be beyond recovery, but that is the closest
I have come. I have also watched e-Bay for two months. One carpet came up
but it wasn't in great shape. I have also posted on a used parts bulletin
board without luck. I would prefer not to go aftermarket.

The dealers tell me they can get one, but at C$600 (plus installation),
that's out of the question.

Is anyone out there parting out a Del Sol or know of a source?

Please post here, or email dan dot beaton at sympatico dot ca.

The car is black, so black would be preferred. The later carpets that
were black with red flashes would be fine.

Note: I am not looking for floor mats.

According to this http://tinyurl.com/2efcw it is indeed called the(?) floor
mat.:-)

Thanks for this George; it's a great illustration. I didn't know
that Honda calls it a mat. Several people have offerred me little-used
floor mats (plural) that I assume are the loose pieces that get
added in (and I already have a set).

The diagram also shows the price: US$421.37 after discount. Ouch!
