Some other pics of during the process...and after from different angles.

You can see the color it was before it became blood red.

That's the cheap kit? How far does it go back behind the seats? I've heard several people claim the carpet won't work in verts, but I'm skeptical.

If you fit it right, I guess you could work it out for a vert.

As for the cheap comment...its not cheap...its molded ONLY. Thats why its so inexpensive. You have to cut it your self and make all the holes. And let me tell you, its a pain in the ***. I screwed up one hole for the seat belt clip, but it doesn't show since the seat is there.

EDIT: Oh, and its a 2 pieces carpet, 1 for the front and one for the rear. For the rear one, I bought a 8 by 8 foot black piece of carpet for cars and cut it myself. It doesn't need to be molded or anything, so why pay more when you can do it yourself? I ain't no loaded FC owner I still eat stock FDs for breakfast though

I only bought the front carpet cuz doing it with a flat one was unthinkable if I wanted a nice job.

Yeah, I put a carpet kit in a Humvee last year at work that was the same way. I can cut holes, it's not a big deal for me. I just needed to know if the front piece came back to the bin area, since the back panels of the vert go down to the floor behind the seats.

I am still slowly trimming mine. now I just have to finish the gas door handle and the passenger side where it meets to door sill. The carpet is so plush I strongly recommend everyone to upgrade to the luxury option.
