For original Porsche parts, usually the best prices are at Sunset Porsche (800-346-0182). You can also buy Lloyd mats which are heavier and made under license from Porsche. A bunch of aftermarket vendors like Performance Products sell them.

Thanks I called Sunset and they say it has been discountinued and he do not have any.- Bummer

I have been so suprised at the aftermarket shops like Performance, tweeks, Midamerica, pelican to name a few that do not have carpet sets for the 968 cab. Its been very frustrating. If I discover some jewel in the ruff (small pun) i'll pass it on- Mike

Are you looking for flr mats or full carpeting? I could have misunderstood you. If you are looking for full carpet, you need to contact some upholsters that specialize in Porsches. there are a few on the west coast and atleast one that i know of on the east coast.

I have ZERO patience, but it isn't that hard...unless you're an impatient old Marine like me.

Here's a little secret about world upholstery...(don't tell anyone else)... they sell on ebay that which was mis-ordered or unpaid. So...search them on ebay and aggressively keep tabs on their auctions. Depending on the color, there is almost always atleast one mid-to late eighties- early ninetites 911 front seat cover pair up for bid.
retail they go for about 1200 bucks. I got mine for 580 something, and they shipped immediately.
