EZ on tops or AAbest off the internet has decent tops for about $200.

I always make my own. Again 4 yds of quality carpet from an auto 
upholstery shop, a can of spray glue (3M  #74)
and a pack of razor blades and you have a perfect fitting rug set with 
no rounded corners for under $100.
You will need to make the shifter tunnel piece in 3 sections and get the 
wife to sew it unless you use the cheaper carpet that contours to the 
tunnel.
I just finished the carpet in my daughter's Bugeye so I know exactly 
what it takes.

155 x 13s are stock, I run 175/70s x 13 on 4 Sprites.

Again local upholstery shop is your best bet.
