And I forget, did you just use the spray stuff to do the do the vinyl areas?


Yes, just used the spray stuff on the vinyl.  Just have to be careful you don't use too much and get runs.

I'm doing this right now. Using SEM ColorCoat. It's working out great so far. I'll get some pics up when everything is done.

The front part is the same, sort of.  For the coupe they fill in the channels that the sedan's rear air vents go through with foam.  To use coupe front carpet in a sedan, just tear the foam out of the channels.  I don't know if you could use sedan front carpet in a coupe because the empty chanels would probably sag.

The rear bit is different, the sedan has longer wider "ears."
