I was doing my shifter recently (T5 swap) and I had to remove the driver's side console carpetting. It was installed over top of the floor material. Based on this I'm pretty sure the floor goes on first, but I haven't done my carpetting yet.

I lined the entire interior of My '85 with Dynamat. Works really, really well.
The carpet was installed with the Console side pieces overlapping and on top of the Footwell pieces. Probably wasn't the Original carpet though...

Hope you got the mass backed carpet from willcox. Great fit and the mass backed does make a difference in noise control, as compared to the regular plastic back carpet the the previous owner had installed.
