mahjik what lip is that on your car?
also, these type of carpets are incredibly difficult to install. I did it before on my 240sx and I really should have just paid a professional to do it for me.

I did mine a few weeks back, switched to a light grey. Opted for no backing to save weight.
It shows in a few minor ways how it would have fit great with the backing. I split it down the middle and installed both sides separately, was able to cut alot of the carpet off. I was lazy and did not pull my dash
so there is some old carpet stuck up there.

i got a quote from Ray, around 950.00 shipped, i did order the ACC carpet and installed it, but im not happy with the results, it its on my to do list after i finish the single turbo conversion to replace it with a new oem carpet.

I know for a fact i wont be happy with the results either then. Im a VERY VERY picky person. id rather just wait to get the new oem one.
that is a ridiculous good price!
when I was looking for carpets a few years ago it was going to cost hundreds and molding fitment was not guaranteed.
doesnt look like they carry tan though, for shame.
I dont really see any room for complaints though on a 100$ carpet.
i mean a JDM ashtray costs more than that
show us some pics of what you are not happy about

There's a good reason it only cost a 100 
Over the years many group buys have been done with nothing but complaints about quality etc.....
OEM carpet can't be beat.
I have 2 good black carpets for 375 shipped each.
I'll post some pictures here asap.

things im not happy with.
1. you have to cut all the holes and trim the carpet as is to big.
2. there are no carpet tabs to cover any of the holes for the seats bolts.
3. carpet in my opinion isnt molded right, im very picky about fitment issues.
if you are looking for a carpet to fit just like oem, or want it to look like the factory, you should buy the oem carpet.

1 -- not that big of a deal.
2 -- tabs? stock had holes... you mean for under the scuff plates?
3 -- Heatgun + weight, havent gotten around to fix mine but that should do it.
Bottum line, its cheaper and a helluva lot lighter than stock. but has some fitment flaws.
