unroll it and let it settle before you install is what i've been told to do.

I'm a dink for that one......for sure. I totally mucked up the install of the stock interiors carpet. The only complaint I have is that the carpet is very plush. It's almost twice the thickness of the OEM one. My suggestion for the install would be to buy a really good set of scissors / blades to cut the carpet. It's real tough to get through. Keep us posted. I'm curious to see how it turns out.

Today is install day, I only have a one car garage, so hopefully the rain holds off...

It's in guys. Carpet has way too much padding, it doesn't matter how much you lay it out for, it will stay wrinkled.
I recommend using some kind of adhesive after its cut up and your sure it's the fit you want. I took plenty of pics of the end result, once I figure out how to upload pics on this site, I will...

Looks good, nice install. If I didn't have an almost new oem carpet sitting in a box I would definitely do this. Now you just need some red mats.

Now I need to find the red floor mats for my car. If anyone knows where to go, hit me up.

I got a red set a few weeks ago that are pretty decent, they are fake but decent quality and they were only $50 a set.

i can't tell if it turned out good or bad. Pics really don't show. What is the orange stuff on the carpet? What type of carpet did you order? (extra plush)?

CommanderNoPant
04-16-2011, 09:27 PM
It turned out quite well, wish I had a better camera. I didn't order it extra plush. Lol....
The padding is real thick, the carpet itself is real thick, if you guys decide to this, order it with out the
Padding...the carpet alone is good enough. If anyone has any questions, just pm me and I'll be happy to help anyone out. The install is pretty easy, just take out old carpet, put in new carpet. Just make sure to do your cuts in the vehicle, it will ensure a good fit, adhesive spray for the front of the carpet will help also. Not all over the floor pan. Just in the corners to secure it.

why does it come with that weird looking pad on drivers side? Would you recommend this product to others? I don't think I would do red, but more likely the black.

No it doesn't, that's the heel pad for the driver, you probably can order it though. I would recommend buying the carpet though, I'm not a professional when it comes to upholstery and I was able to pull it off.
