So....the rear carpet is in and nicely stuck down. Looks good.
Console is in and wired up. Static happens on the radio if you have the phone both charging and using the aux jack. I'm told that's a ground loop issue. I was also told this with some sort of vague assumption that would mean anything. I don't think it involves when I looped my dirtbike, but in my defense, I'm a horrible rider.
Front carpet. Doesn't fit. Passenger front side? Fits.
Driver's side? No fit. Not even close to fit. There's an extra bit of carpet on the left side of the driveshaft hump that looks like...a fat man's beer belly. It just has nowhere to go? Squishing it down just moved it to under the accelerator pedal, which could then no longer be depressed fully, and once pushed down, would get stuck. Wrong kind of excitement.
Cutting the carpet and trying to overlap it resulted in more ugly than a Rolling Stone's group photo. Just, hideous. Clearly, something went wrong here.
This car is a stick shift. I bought a carpet for a stick shift car in the hopes that meant they had a shifter hole (it didn't). But apparently the cars that were originally manuals had a rather large kickout on the driveshaft hump which is what this extra carpet was trying to cover. Except this car was an automatic originally and thus does not have said kickout. This results in a carpet that simply cannot be made to fit.
So I learned yet another thing. I ordered an automatic carpet and now I have some nice spare carpet scraps to kneel on.
Given that this was the last thing to go in before the seats, I may be delayed.
