What’s the correct way to make larger holes in the carpet, 3rd row anchors etc? Also is there any carpeting difference by year? I’ve read somewhere that late cruisers have different carpet shape

Hey these are both questions for my hubby so let me ask him and I’ll get back with you. It will probably be tomorrow, though, because he’s playing with his cars tonight.

Hubby says he’s heard some use a carpet installation tool to cut out the holes but he prefers a utility knife.
Also is there any carpeting difference by year? I’ve read somewhere that late cruisers have different carpet shape
The manufacturer studies the floor design by years pretty extensively so within a series, if there were differences, they would offer accordingly.
Hope these answers help.

Black all the way. I have black in my Camry and love it. It looks incredible when it is clean.
Said by no one with a husky.
Any photos of black carpet in tan interior? I’m very interested in a front set in particular.

Looking for anybody out there who has this combo and is willing to post pics,,,,,thanks!
Interested in some photo as well
I am still cleaning (15 years of dirt and other stuff) and working on wiring while I have my carpet out. I got some sound deadening material installed.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00URUIKAKI am going to paint some of the trim black, that is going to be surrounded by the carpet in the cargo area. I hope to have it done this weekend. I think it is going to look good.
How much of the sound insulation did you end up getting? 36 sqft doesn't seem like much, but then again it's not a livingroom...
I only did the rear fenders and quarter panels (one side is pictured above), that was a quarter or third of the box... later I can take my door panels off if I want and I will still have some left over. You can also do the roof panels, I don't want to drop the headliner right now.
The 36 sq ft I think is plenty.
I finished up and I think it looks great... This was my first time installing uncut carpet. A good utility knife with fresh blades is was my main tool. I did make a few mistakes... ie cut a little to much, fortunately not terrible. I learned a lot

The black carpet on tan looks awesome! I thought my black weathertechs on tan were nice, but this is on another level lolI finished up and I think it looks great...

Not sure if this was asked, but can you guys do a roof liner too?
looks good - how would you compare the thickness of the carpet relative to OEM?
