Default carpet replacement

I've been installing a new carpet for the last week, little bit each night after work.
I installed the seat belts tonight and remembered a post a while back suggesting to use a soldering iron to open the holes in thje carpet for the bolts.
Well, I did this and I must say the holes turned out perfect, you'd think they were created by a machine when the carpet was made.

Thanks to whoever posted it originally, great tip.

I saw that post as well. I'm putting carpet in my 78' over the next couple of weeks (after work also). I was curious how the holes would look so thanks for posting!
