The quart size tub is plenty.just take your time marking the carpet for cutting,that is the most difficult part..imho.
Cut the holes small and enlarge as needed,a little at a time.You have several options on where to put the slits...directly behind the seats(4 long ones),back in the rear compatment( 4 small slits,but can be seen from the rear)or between the hoops themselves(2 only,so it fits like a "t-shirt",but you will need some double sided tape or other to keep them from raising up)
As far as the install,just line them up good,protect your interior well,check for interference with the top movement on a vert,and Be ready when you mix the epoxy!
That stuff goes off real quick, don't let it catch you shootin' the breeze,or you could have a mess on your hands!
Good luck, it's not to hard
