Hello everyone.
Lfino thanks for the pictures and info you to jd. The acc carpet I brought has the underpayment already attached and is pretty think so I believe that is the mass backed more expensive carpet from acc however not sure if it matters or not but I have already installed a similar underlayment like dynamat not sure if that would create any problems.
Lfino I noticed in your pictures your cars a manual but you installed the carpet with no shifter in place or shifter bezel does that matter? You appear to have got a great fitting carpet without. In my case the cars a automatic however the transmission,shift lever,bezel are currently out of the car I did however run the wires down the transmission tunnel already ( side light feed and ground)to the shifter light ready for when the shifter assembly goes in plus also the carpet goes over the top of the wiring so naturally the wires have to be down before hand.
Thanks everyone for the help and advice.
Dave
