Default another interior question (RUG)

as i mentioned in another post,my vette was a drag car for years and the last owner removed the rugs,center consol, and stock seats,i just picked up a set of stock seats,so now i want to put a stock looking rug in the car,i noticed a rug for sale and i see it is 2 halfs with nothing in the middle (where the console sits) so my question is! does anyone make a rug that has material across the console area,or should i just wait till i find a center console? thanks........fred

no, there are too many items there. what you can do is to take your new carpet that you buy and try and find something similar (JC Whitney comes to mind) and take it to a upholster and have the edges bound so that it sits over the console and overlaps the new carpeting...

Most quality Auto Upholstery shops can get carpet by the Yard.

There wasn't any carpet under the center console, just sound / heat proofing.
