May I ask what you did with your door panels and what brand carpet did you use? How did the carpet fit up on the firewall area? Some seem to be too short in that area.


I Used Stock Interiors.Com and bought the plush cut, floor mats and 3 extra yards for the hatch area. It fit like a glove, all the way up the firewall no problem!

The interior had been swapped so I had to source the "custom" interior from another Monza and then have the door panels reupholstered. I found matching vinyl and supplied pictures to the upholstery shop which they matched perfectly. Arm rests are new as they were torn away as usual. Also gave the upholstery shop some extra matching carpet from Stock Interiors.Com. This all required installing the other style locking mechanisms.

The "custom" interior was a factory option. Like the one in this picture.

Hi Doug, thanks. The way we ran the tailpipe makes it impossible to use the rear spoiler. I stored mine just in case!

Best regards!

I just asked cause, if you find another one, you can cut a notch out of it for the tailpipe and still use it . ( still bolt on.....able) Pretty hard to find one thats not broken though.
