Can any one help me with the install on the floor mats?
Befor I bend the pieces, does any one have pics and did you lay them on top of the carpet or was the carpet removed. The pieces just look like they were cut wrong, Just need help really bad.

I pulled out my stock mats when I installed mine. You have to bend them about 30 degrees for them to fit right. My mats looked like they were traced right off the stock ones.

They are hard to get into place because they don't bend like the carpet ones, but once they are in, the sit quite nicely, and don't slide around at all.

Here's a picture of mine:

I hope that helps.

I got mine from http://conceptautocreations.com/ . They don't have much of a website, but I just e-mailed Tim Fitzwilliams (tfitz@conceptautocreations).

Mine were $100, but there was a group buy for them a couple of months ago at $75.

I laid a piece of wood down on the floor mat where it needed to be bent and pulled up.. kept the bends pretty straight and it looks good.

I got them (then got rid of them) and was really disappointed in the way they looked. I think they look great in pictures, but in real life it's a different story. They are so shiny, they look almost like mirrors, very cheap looking...almost like you have your floor lined with aluminum foil.

Yes, they are quite shiny when new, but I've been stepping on mine for a while, and they have dulled down a little.
