Did the passenger front. Some of those stupid plastic clips were broken on the back and most on the bottom. I used the same method on the back but the bottom had the passenger presence module so there was no access to the springs to twist the wires around so I cut some plastic squares, drilled 2 holes in each, put the wires through and pulled on them and twisted the wires. They can’t pull through the foam and the creases are set before attaching the cushion to the frame like it’s supposed to be. It came out pretty good. I reinstalled the plastic parts and they’re ready to go.

Supervising sure... he steals shit left and right, and I never know if what he’s chewing on is garbage or an important part lol, and he has a severe issue with giving me my personal space. But I love him for sure.
Hehehe. That’s funny.

I re-steamed the rear seats today and installed the carpet. The mass backing they sent was separate from the carpet and the truck already had the same stuff installed so I didn’t put it in, fearing the seat bolts would be too short with those 2 layers of 1/2” material combined with the thick ass carpet. This stuff is super thick and dense.It weighs 3 times what the stock stuff did. I laid the old one on top of the new stuff and used it as a pattern. The stuff fit perfect. ACC is quality stuff. I found a small tunnel in the rear where they clearanced for the driveshaft that wasn’t insulated so I used the Kill Mat on it, and used some behind the B and C pillars. I didn’t do much more if it, I will do the doors one day. I did notice more stupid fake CF on the door lock buttons. I will deal with that later.

The Kilmat works great for cleaning the carpet and I’ll tell you what- the vacuum had little effect in removing all the white fibers that I guess are from manufacture. I ran out of time and only got the back half clean. Looks great though. In comparison the factory carpet was greyish. This stuff is BLACK. Had to throw one of the front mats in even though the carpet isn’t clean
