    when i did mine i got one of the ones for sale on ebay for around $150... all carpets or something. It came in two halfs the front end fitted with no problems.. though i would of liked it to be a bit longer. With the end there was a bit of messing around (cutting it to fit) then I got the old lady at the dress shop down the road to stitch it all up.
    i feel much better now that ive given up hope

    no there wasn't a gap.

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-Moulded-C...3286.m20.l1116

    that was the carpet i got



    The red line is roughly where it came up to just behind the front seat mounts... i just wanted it further back, would of preferred it to go to the yellow.

    The main problem your going to have is the back carpet.. its been awhile since i had my 23 and i cant find a photo of the back seat to jog my memory but i remember i just had to cut it to get it to fit snugly.

    why dont you just get it custom done?

    when i did the celica last time, it was around the same cash to have them fit a molded one - or the cut and stiched me a custom one. and the custom one was much nicer carpet.
