The new carpet is one continuous piece and has no bolt holes. The molded creases and corners are rather rounded than strict. Even after a few days stretching out in my living room it still has small wrinkles and bulges.

The jute on the back of the carpet is pretty good, but isn't glued all that tightly, so I taped the edges to prevent it from coming off.

Also, the new carpet doesn't have the plastic strips that holds the edge of the carpet stuck to the car's frame near the door sill area. Save these from the old carpet. You can reuse the staples if they're in good shape.

I only made one cut down the center of the carpet. I didn't cut at the half of the carpet per se, but about 3" more to the passenger's side. This is because the rolling distance from the center of the console to the driver's door is longer than that to the passenger's side. You can safely cut 3 feet for starters. Cut the rest little at a time to leave room for error.

The jute material is hard to cut, so use a sharp tool to minimize shredding. Duct tape along the cut to prevent the unwound jute from spreading all over the place. Also, it's not the best thing to breathe in your lungs.

I started centering the carpet by aligning the least flexible areas first. I ensured the heel pad fits well and then I centered the carpet front-to-back by matching the front seat pillar with the corresponding carpet mold.

Then I ensured that the rear seat area fits well and moved over to the passenger side.

Again, I matched the pillar under the seat first and worked from there towards the rest of the carpet.

Use clamps and weights, such as dumbells, to pin the carpet down while shifting it around for the best fit. A helper is useful for this part, or otherwise you'll have to walk around the car all day adjusting the carpet from both doors.

Come back a second time, punching holes for driver's seat and temporarily fasten the carpet. You can use the seat bolts or just stick a screwdriver through the carpet and bolt holes.

Move over to the passenger's side. Put the rear seat and console back and make sure the carpet tucks in well under them. Then punch the passenger's side holes as well.

Obviously, if the driver's side fits well but the passenger's side just wouldn't stay in place then fasten the passenger's side first.

Ensure a perfect fit for the driver's side foot area and that there is good clearance for pedals.

Be careful when fitting the front part of the carpet. Be sure not to shock or activate the airbag mechanism because it contains pyrotechnic material which you don't want to blow up in your face. Also, work carefully around the SRS-ECU as well (right below the stereo). Disconnect the battery and wait about a minute before fitting the front of the carpet.
