That's what I'm running into. I can't tell if it's a 2, 3, or 4 piece setup online, and I'm not really seeing any splits under the seats or behind the console which indicate it's a multi-piece unit, and on top of that the part numbers don't indicate which side, or which end. If anything, it looks like all 1 piece.

I don’t know a part number. I do know that it is all one piece and goes way up under the dash. Pretty sure to do the job properly, the dash will have to come out

I enjoy complaining, I've turned it into an art form, so if I've got to disassemble half the car to properly replace the carpet, just think of the hours, if not days of complaining I'll get to engage in while swapping it out.

Instead of replacing, try a thorough vacuum and cleaning with a hand held carpet and upholstery cleaner first. The only time you should look into replacing the carpet in a car is if you don't use car mats and have worn a spot in the carpet. No matter how dirty it may look, a thorough cleaning will bring it back to looking like new and is way cheaper to have a detailer clean it. It's actually easy to do if you have the vacuum and carpet cleaner already and want to do it yourself.

The elderly nitwit I purchased the car from was entirely okay with leaving the damn thing parked in odd directions in direct sunlight. If anything, the carpet looks rather faded. I'm okay with detailing the carpet, but I'd like to do a reset on some of the interior bits as the car is now 14 years old, which is why I'm trying to find some of the interior plastic bits (I've got a separate post in here for a WTB in regards to a NOS sill plate thingie on the driver's side).
If it actually still looked new, I'd be okay with simply detailing it, I'd just like to find some NOS bits if it's possible.

Be glad yours is black. I have grey and it can be a pain in the butt to keep up with.
I agree with above, have the carpet detailed by a pro before you pursue replacing it. You’d be surprised what they can get out.

I almost wished for tan, as that color seems to hide dirt really well, I'm not too terribly impressed with black General Motors plastics in regards to how cheap it looks if you don't stay on top of detailing it.
At any rate, I'm thankful to discover that at least one or two folks in here are as confused by the part numbers as I am. I'm going to do a deeper clean anyway, but I'm still hoping to refresh a few things before I give up and just drive it.
