AutoX SSM: New OEM NA carpets & pad/sound dent
So I know this is prob the worse race prep question, but it is for my autox SSM "race car", '93 white w/ blk interior. I have to have the factory carpets and sound dent/insulation under it per the rules. The last owner did all kinds of drilling & mounting, that let lots of metal shavings work into the carpet. I've tried to clean/sweep multi times and I've just given up to be honest. Plus not to mention the 20 years of dirt/stains in the carpet.
I looked into used carpets on ebay but they look 20 years old, well because they are. I wanted a fresh start, but I don't want some boob protesting me because it's an aftermarket carpet and might weigh 1/2lb less. Even though my car is over min weight.
Are there any new factory reproduction carpets out there for our cars? Same material, weight, design, etc.
Thx guys.

Yes he is bringing it to Nationals. It will possibly be the most amazing AutoX Miata on earth. The rest of us SSM Miata guys need to take notice. I have been following this build...and I'm nervous....Carter should be too.

I agree it was stupid, but on the flip side, there's a very specific set of rules concerning aero in SM.
The "Weenie Rule" specifically applies to tiny little modifications with cutting to fit other things, carpet bullshit like this thread, and the like.
The aero protest was at its core, legit. Just not handled in a respectable manner.

Yes the car will be going to Nationals, the NB option is a great idea and honestly something I never thought about. The main reason for my posting this question was from fear of a stupid protest.
Eric thanks for the kind words about my build, I'm still worried about you and your car, esp after a few evo schools.
