been searching around and see these that say they would fit for my 79 brat...but im pretty hesitant...

I'd be skeptical. It says it's an exact fit for a 79 brat with a "fit note" at the bottom that says 2wd which never happened. All the cars could be the same, but like you're saying, it's a gamble.

I ordered some like that from JcWhitney and the fit was "ok" for the version they make for an 82-87 Brat. The color was way off of factory but it was ok. On the 84 model there is a back section of carpet so it was obvious one was replaced and we were disappointed they didn't include or offer that back strip too.

im starting to lean back towards not caring how it looks....don't think its ever going to be a complete restro car since im not super into it that way(dont get me wrong I love the thing...but more for the ability to throw crap in the back and beat it around town than wanting to really show it off)
