Hello, I recently bought a new loop carpet kit in black from our friends at A and P. They look quite nice and for the price you can't complain.

How hard is it to install carpet kits in the 914? I have read in some of the catalogs that professional installation is recommended. I have absolutely no experience at all when it comes to carpets, but I thought I would at least give it a try.

Any tips or advice or pointers before I start.

Also I don't have the stock carpets in the car so I am not sure how and where they fit it. My car had a huge single carpet installed a few years ago and its awful and I want to go back to a semi stock look.

Here is a picture of the carpets since people like pictures so much.

What kind of glue should I use?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Jamie
