So what color is closer to the grey carpet in our cars? There are four that look very similar, Silver, Dark Grey, and Medium Pewter and Medium Opal. It is kind of hard to tell from their site.

I'm sure they'll send you some snippets or scrap so you can compare.
Yep, you can order a sample booklet for a couple of dollars. If your trying to match the factory Pewter carpet, there are two colors that are very close to it. Medium Graphite and and Medium Dark Pewter, medium opal is also pretty close. I went with the medium dark pewter. It's not a 100% perfect match but it looks good enough that it will match the door panels.

The carpet comes in a roll so it's up to you and your skills as to how it looks installed. It takes some patients and work to get it right. I used 3M 77 spray adhesive for mine. Spray some on the floor and on the carpet wait a couple of min for it to get tacky and lay it down.
When I get my car back from the tranny shop I will take some pictures this weekend.

The area where the back seat bottom cushions were hard to form (buckets) and the area right above it (flat area). The carpet bunches up there and doesn't want to lay flat. I had to make some cuts in that area.
I got some Ozite carpet today. I Work at oreilly auto parts and i knew we carried carpet rolls and it turned out to be the same stuff. I paid 6$ a roll (employee cost). we have black,blue,gray and tan. If you guys have an Oreilly locally they should have a couple rolls in stock and be able to order as many as you want and have it next day with no shipping charge. its 9.95$ for a 78x36" roll. its located where the seat covers and car covers are. hope this helps.
