Do not buy it! I have it in my car, the fit leaves something to be desired. It's about 6'' short of meeting up with the carpet in my t-top well.

+1... I guess mine was number 20 in the molding process. It sat like 3" higher than my driveshaft tunnel and no matter what I did it would not flatten out. Ended up throwing it away b/c it wasnt molded correctly.

Its not a full lenght, ther for a vert and stops right at the top edge of the flat. Speed inc says to install it, strat in the rear and work your way up. Mine fits great if you install it right. I thought it said that in the site but I just looked and it dosn't? maybe they changed it?

No holes in it, and if you follow the directions in the box you should have no issues.

It never lays down perfect, thats why they wont sell the full length coupe carpet without the rubber backing any more. Problem with that is the rubber backing weighs more than stock.

It holds up better then ozite, but on the other hand if you have a cage with a lot of bars towards the inside its easier to just glue the ozite in IMO. You can see where it ends in this pic.

it is not going to fit like factory, but with patience and letting the carpet lay out of the box for some time ( preferably a sunny day ) it will lay pretty good

The site states with or without hatch area : http://www.speedinc.com/cont.cfm?cid=C0000831

We have sold many of these and people have been happy to our knowledge.

correct, there are no holes in the carpet as fitment may be slightly different from vehicle to vehicle.

the best way to install it is to take it out of the box, and lay it out flat for a while (outside in the sun is the best way).

otherwise they're cut to fit, and a lot lighter than stock.

any other questions, feel free to call or e-mail.

Thanks,
Bryan

What's the difference between the two? How much more does the "with hatch" cover? Does it cover the whole trunk area or does it just go an extra 3feet and cover the platform? I ask because it's a pretty large price difference between the two. Am I paying all that extra money to not see a line where the back seat would be?

Thanks,
