I'm very happy how this turned out, the interior looks so clean and fresh. Thanks to prime-member Kris79 for hooking me up with the Mov-It USA Type-R carpet. If you haven't done this before, plan to spend 2 days. I spent one afternoon doing the passenger side which took me about 4 hours, and about 7 hours the following weekend to install the other side. The carpet is molded, its a great mold. I remember thinking the passenger side was a "drop-in", it was pretty easy. The driver side was harder, but a little persuasion goes a long way. You need a very sharp utility knife as you have to do some cutting holes for the brackets. The carpet has a thick rubber mat backing which I thought was great.
Here are some pics.
A dirty stock carpet
New vs Old. The mold is pretty amazing except the door sill-pad area wasn't trimmed correctly, but a sharp utility knife fixed that.
The carpet kit did not come with holes for the seat rails, so after test fitting, I traced the holes from the old carpet. It wasn't perfect the first time but it I was able to see the thread where the bolt is supposed to go and just cut as needed. Notice the back needed a little trimming as it was blocking the threads for the back panels.
After installing the driver seat.
I have the zeetoolman woofer and because the carpet uses a thick rubber backing, the woofer doesn't fit as good anymore. It doesn't move around so it's a small price to pay for an affordable clean Type-R look carpet.
Next stop, Nav Pod and removing the scratches of the center console. Hope you guys like.
