not bad for 50 you shoulda left more excess in the middle but that was smart for you to pick that fabric if you live in a snowy or wet area or for a dd where it gets dirty , thats the rugged carpet right? i understand where you were going with that... ! good work

being non car carpet it was hard to form to all of the unusual shapes and bends but like i said with more time to do it i could have made it **** hot. by the way the car did not have carpet and i did not want to get warn old used carpet nor pay an arm and a leg for brand new carpet. like i said i was in a hast to get it done while the day was warm here in iowa.

this was done in the SC forums, couldve followed that diy. all your cuts should have been hidden underneath the seats and not exposed. but good effort.
