I'd like to see some pictures of survivor cars if possible to see where the factory cut the carpet. I just started to loosley install the carpet in the Challenger and I have lots of excess material. I've got enough extra material to completely cover the steering column hole. I think I can trim some of it off outside the car to make things easier. Right now there is so much extra that I'm going to be scratching up my E-brake and brake pedals.

Also, it looks like there is a crease in the heel pad. Is that crease supposed to go where the floorpan starts to angle up...just below the gas pedal? Thanks

You should not see and part of the fire wall when walking up to the car or sitting in the seat.

Those were perfect...thanks!

That "crease" or "seam" that is in the heel pad is about 3" back from the front face of the pad. If I possition that seam right where the floorpan starts to angle up, that leaves the front section of carpet overlapping the rear section by about 3/4". Unless I hear different, that's where I'm going to put it.
