Curious to see the outcome on this... I'm thinking of ordering the Speed Inc carpet too.

I've heard that you are suppose to start at the rear and then work forwards up to the firewall...

I got it done and it actually came out well besides the hick up with the back. I will warn you guys this honestly is not for a amateur. I used spray adhesive to keep carpet in place as I worked it into position. Keep your old carpet so you have a guide for holes. I had threw mine away so it made it more of a challenge. There is cutting involved so be ready. To install it took me a good 4 hours. I started in the front not to sure how you could start at the back. I'll post pics up soon if I can get around to it.

I always start at the front- usually there is a defined place for the carpet to start on firewall

I ordered mine from classic, recognize all issues mentioned. Keep your old carpet as reference!
