Anyone got any pics of the carpet kits for gas tank installed? And how are these kits attached? Thanks

there not the greatest fit in the world, they have plastic hooks that attach to the top edge of the gas tank. the sides will just tuck in until you decide that it looks decent. i would recommend sound deadner prior to carpet install and to put spray adheisive on the back of the carpet to help the carpet lay smooth and flat against the gas tank. i have attached some picture of the tank cover in my truck, currently the carpet is just hanging in there to help it lay better once all my body work is complete. sorry for the bad pics. it was cold in a dark garage!
