Can anyone send me the carpet template files (pdf's ?) that I can take to Kinkos for printout. I would greatly appreciate it. :D I can't seem to reach DonGraphics.

Thanks

Home Depot had gray indoor/outdoor carpet on sale for $10 for a 10'x10' roll. It was the corn row style. My car came with the PO's tacky plush carpet in a horrid green color so I thought anything was better. Installation was a snap by simply cutting the new carpet with scissors around the pieces I took out of the car. The replacement pieces were lightly glued down with about a half a can of 3-M general purpose spray adhesive #45. The project took me about 2 hours and a total cost of about $12.

well i finally had the patterns printed for the carpeting from the file one of the members sent me. Had to go to a sign maker that had a plotter that could print 50" wide paper.Have a question though ,can you use these templates to cut the insulation for the floor as well?
