Of course walmart doesn't have prices on 1/2 of their stuff. I would have to say 8-10 bucks, it was 3'x6' rolls. They had a few colors.

What does pepboys have? Complete carpets or rolls of that stuff?

Post a link I can't find crap on their site.

+1 on the contact cement. I had a 5 gal bucket of it for glueing rubber mats for a fish pond together. worked awesome for carpet, and for my leather headliner. I did have to do sections at a time. but I think that the 3M would be better because you could pull it back up pretty easy without alot of residue.

the stuff from yourautotrim is perfect, I've used it on my car, I am redoign it now after the 10 pt install, it is very easy to work with, light as a feather. I used some cheap spray adhesive I got at home depot, the dap contact cement will hold it better, but will probably take longer to dry and be more of a mess to work with unless they have a spray type I don't know about.

IMO, I didn't want it tacked down too good, except under my feet, the console, the seats do a good job of stopping it from moving too much, and the top t top ares I just used the child seat hooks (phil I know this won't help you) to hold it in place, which worked great.

I am redoing my car porbably early march, and I will have to do eastside's 25.5 drag radial car as well, which is gonna be a PITA to go around all the bars in that car I already know that, but it will come out good, just gonna take a while.
