Anyone who has installed this under the carpet I was wondering what to do with the cubby holes. I thought just cut it out and lay it inside the box. Any other ideas?

Lay it on top of the carpet and get a nice Logo Llyods mat to cover it.

I installed mine on top of the carpet. Before I purchased the Blockit I was planning on also purchasing a Lloyds mat to cover the Blockit. The Blockit is a very good fit to the contours of the rear hatch area and the textured surface looks good, so I passed on adding any more weight to the car.

The two pieces of Blockit that fit behind the seats on the bulkhead are a different matter. Many are placing those under the carpet to hide them. I added a RPI waterfall and cut ~5" off the top of the two Blockit mats, and now they are not noticeable when the seats are upright.

You could... but i wouldn't. Just lay it on top of the carpet. The perf vinyl top layer looks great. The fit is perfect. You don't have to cover it. As for the cubby holes, like a lloyds aftermarket cargo carpet, lift the corner and it exposes the cubby compartment.
Now the top vinyl is more slippery then carpet so things could slide around a tad. You can always get a lloyds cargo mat and besides looking awesome, (more sound deadening) it will stop the sliding!

Just received a pallet yesterday (for our show next Sunday). So they are in stock.

Thank you!

That's what we did. We bought a Cashmere Lloyds trunk mat, so the color matches the other carpets and it's much easier to find small objects at night or in the garage- no more "black hole" effect from the Ebony carpet.

We used Scotchgard before installing the lloyds, to keep it looking good longer.

No reason to put the back piece under the carpet.

Even though I didn't care for it, it DID look good.
