Question Molded carpet, or not?

Would a non-molded carpet kit be alot harder to install than a molded carpet kit?

If you buy non-molded, how do you mold it yourself? Steam iron? Or just kind of push it into place?

I'm actually on the hunt looking for the best seller for a carpet set for an '83 944. Any recommendations?

I have heard and seen pics from one car that put in http://www.worlduph.com/porsche7.htm and it looked good. I put in the http://www.stockinteriors.com/AutoCa...24&ModelId=398 and it it total crap. I liked the color but the molding and everthing else sucked, fit was off and just did not work. I even worked with a local shop and they could not get the stuff to work out well.
I need to get a replacement for this so let us know who you go with and how it turn out.

Worlduph.com cost 480 dollars for a whole set. And Stock Interiors cost like around $250.

I have the complete black carpet kit from "Stock Interiors". It's really not THAT bad, but truth be told, you get what you pay for. It does fit, but it requires a lot of trimming. You'll also want to get several cans of 3M Adhesive Carpet Spray. You literally have to press and hold the carpet into certain places just to get it to stick. The trunk carpet isn't the best either.

In any case, I'm still pretty happy with it. I have pictures of it in various stages at:
