Anyone installed a carpet kit from ACC?
If so I am wondering how you did the covering for the wheel wells? The kit doesn't seem to have a particularly good fit to the wells so I'm assuming that some finagling / cutting is going to be required. I've never done this before so a bit nervous as it is very much going to be on view. Tips and tricks or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I found it easiest to do on a fairly HOT day when you can lay them in the sun so they get nice and pliable. Then you can stretch and pull to get them to conform. I used 3M spray adhesive to stick it to the dynamat once I was happy with the fit and then trimmed the excess. Worked out good for me.

Mr.Chevy4x4 - how did you get a stretched carpet to stay in position initially - im thinking specifically up against the bottom of the firewall where its impossible to weight it down. Did you unbolt the accelerator pedal and then re bolt it through the carpet for instance?
