Default Autobond carpet? How much do I need?

My cousin got some Autobond carpet in Porsche Black from Menards for pretty cheap for his Eclipse. It only comes in 6' widths, but how long would I need it for my 1997 Formula? I plan on doing everything from the front of the car, to the complete rear. What should I use to hold the carpet down on the floor, what kind of carpet adhesive?

Anyone use this carpet? I'm going to put my existing carpet over this, and cut the holes and everything. Anyone have any good plans in how to do it?

Here are some pics. Although it's not as expensive at Menards as it is on that site. It's really lightweight.

When I measured my stock carpet I believe it was 110" long. Width was like 60" at the widest. I bought 4yrds to cover my car.

Sweet. I'll pick up a 6'x10' piece. I'll lay the old carpet over the new carpet, and cut around where I would need the holes etc.
