OER carpet feedback?

I like the way the grommet looks. Wasn't going to use one, but I will get one. Thanks for all your help, and pics.

My car when I bought it in 1972 did not have a grommet. I hope this helps others with doing their own carpet. I'm slower now and work it in increments in between rest times.

Yes, I too take more breaks than when I was a younger man. Slow, and methodical.

I haven't got my dimmer switch mounted. New floor pans. Is there a correct place for the dimmer switch

Since I already have the interior back together in the 71, I looked at the dimmer switch location in the 72. I hope this helps.

I finished the carpet install today. I have to share a photo. The only pieces I haven't changed out were the old sill plates I used for fitting. I'm trying to let the carpet settle a little more and then I'll install the excellent sill plates. If I were to rate this OER carpet, I would say it looks very good overall. There's a couple of places I feel they could have done better forming the carpet such as between the 4 speed hump at the back and the drivers seat. Another area is in the area of the dimmer switch/ parking brake cable. It's okay, I just felt it could be better. That's it.

Terry, looks good. Dry fitting mine the hump up front seems to have a whole bunch of extra carpet. So I decided to put some sound deadner in.

Does the carpet come with those... built-in mats with the goofy star in the middle?

No star
