I never really bought anything from them, i found a stock carpet locally before i could order one from them.
From what I can tell they're really good, I went through what they had for my hatch, and wasn't sure about the color, hard to tell what it'll be like just by looking at a picture online you know? so, they have a feature that allows you to choose samples of possible colors and they mail it to you free... and it came in the 2nd day.

i think you just need to cut out the holes for the shifter and e-brake assembly, the holes to mount the seats to the floor, the hole for the trunk/gas pop lever, the mounts for the center console, and i think thats it. simple enough imo

stockinteriors is ok...

get both the red samples to see which one you want..

one is like crazy bright red.. and the other is more subtle and darker.. which is mroe like the type R red..

i got the latter option..




fitment is alright... not perfect at all.. not even close.. but you can make it look ok... get a heat gun and take your time.

I have heard of Auto Custom Carpets and a brand called Nifty. Guy I know got a Nifty one for his old vette and it was perfect.
