Default carpet installed-not happy!

actually that might be a little extreme. i am pleased overall, however, i have a wrinkle by my gas peddle, going up the trans tunnel. everything else came out real nice. i bought my rug from resto 5.0, and paid extra for the mass backed carpet. any ideas on how to work the wrinkle out? i thought if i have to i could cut a slit under the console/radio area and let it lap there.
also any suggestions on a new set of floor mats? thanks.

well i just did the same thing as you, ive heard to use a steamer or a blowdryer or heat gun to make it take a better shape. As for colors i went with the factory grey color with no logo black floormats... It looks great

Not sure. I installed the same carpet and it came out great. Very happy w/ the fit and quality. Good luck though, I hope you get it worked out. Let us know how you do it for future reference!!

Funny you mentioned that, I was just looking through their carpet choices, and was trying to decide whether it would be a better idea to get the mass back carpet- You guys are all satisfied with it?

I do, I am doing a restoration; if I buy the carpet it might as well look good, fit well, and last.
