Careful where you buy it. I ordered some from a place called something like stock interiors dot com. It was so ill-fitting it was almost comical. I finally threw it away.
The tranny hump in the floor lacked about three inches being as tall as the hump in the carpet. Thought it looked very nice until I laid it in the car. Left it there for several days, thinking maybe it would lay down some and look better. Didn’t get any better.

Ha! I have one of those, it's like it's too small or something. I used a heat gun on some of it and it helped a little. It's light but yeah, "ill-fitting" is a good description.
