Re: Did you glue your carpet down?

Don't go to an upholstery shop for carpeting. They cannot create the molded features in the aftermarket carpets. They will have to cut and sew the seams of the carpet (around the transmission hump, under the seat riser area, etc.)

I got a cheap carpet at a local upholstery shop for about $125, but it had a lot of cuts and loose edges and was very thin. . I put Walmart treadmill mat over the hump and on the exposed under seat edges, and held it in place with the rocker panel trim. Then I put Huskyliner floor liners over the remaining exposed carpet. The entire floor looks like a rubber floor mat.

I would put that Walmart mat over whatever carpet you install - I think 3'
x 5' is about $20. You can cut slits and tape it on the underside where you need to, then take the whole thing to an upholstery shop and have them stitch the seams for cheap.
