That is shocking to me as well, they seem to have every modern vehicle on file - hard to imagine that 1993-02 F-body was never included.

Regardless, I can can provide an alternate fitment option. Back in the mid-'00s I had an '02 Monte Carlo SS as a daily driver, and I had Weathertech mats (custom fit) for this vehicle. When I sold that car and decided to start using my '02 Z28 as a daily driver, I thought I would just see if the mats could transfer over to the Camaro. They were actually a pretty good fit, slightly oversized but in a good way (providing better protection on the sides without being too long or causing any pedal interference). The fit was good enough that I continued using these mats in that car until I sold it in the mid-'10s. At that point, I moved those same mats into a 2012 Malibu and, to my surprise, they were an excellent fit in that car as well. So, those same mats have now been in service for nearly 15 years in three different cars in all types of weather, and they're still in excellent service condition. Just a great product in my opinion.

Anyway, point being, the custom-fit sizing for an '02 Monte Carlo was a workable fit for my '02 Camaro, albeit with a little side overlap (which, again, is actually better for carpet protection and didn't look sloppy nor cause any functional issues). With that said, I've noticed that the newer Weathertech mats seem to be made of a slightly more ridged material, so an oversized fitment might not be quite as "conforming" as the ~15 year old ones that I'm still using.

It really does boggle the mind. There's still tons of these on the road. It looks like they don't offer anything for the 2002 Monte Carlo anymore either, just their trimmable all-weather mats.

I'm going to see if I can hunt down the old GM rubber interior mats, if that fails I may need to get creative. I suspect someone on the forums has stumbled upon mats/cabin liners that fit!

I have WeatherTech floor mats in my 97 t-top car...

They sell universal ones that are meant to be trimmed (very very easy with just regular scissors). They even have lines in them to help you trim.

These are the ones I have: https://www.weathertech.com/chevrole...-floor-mat-hd/
