Carpet?, how hard is it? Options

for my B-day, on the 31st. i would like a carpet kit. currently my car has tan carpet floating directly on top of the floor pans. are there supposed to be padding under the carpet? also, where should i buy my black carpet from? what vendor? also, how hard is it to install?

I replaced mine recently. Not a very difficult project. I didn't go w/ a kit I bought the carpet and cut the individual pieces. I had an upholstery shop bind the floor mats & sew the heel pad on for me. Glued special rubber nib material to the back of the floor mats so they don't shift around.

Take it from somone who just did this, I would think twice about using black. The black shows foot prints and every little speck of lint. If I had it to do over I would use the salt & pepper, gray black or just solid gray.
