Default Carpet question

Alright.. everyone that has installed their own vette carpet, come out of the woodworks please!

How exactly did you install the back fender wells? Did you have to do any cutting or did you just overlap the carpet and glue? I would appreciate any pictures I can get of the install. I have seen the ones at corvettefaq.. doesn't seem help me too much.

Thanks,
Michael

that gives me nightmares just thinking about it again

It was a bitch to do but that link that was posted should help. Getting the corners to stay was a big pain in the butt. Took me about 4 tries to get it right so I could lay the center section down. I also trimmed the corner pieces so the center piece would lay flat.
