Very Nice! but how do you cut the carpet around some of the mounts with out having to cut all the way threw? Kinda hard to explain, but for an example the rear hatch cage.

With that kind of rear bar setup you're going to see a seam in the carpet no matter what you do. Your best bet is to cut a straight line in the carpet from the bar location towards the side of the vehicle. This will provide the smallest visible seam since plastic trim pieces will cover some of the cut. You can use double-sided carpet tape under the seam to hold the two sides of the cut together to make the seam less visible. Unfortunately for the trans tunnel bars you're going to have to cut one large line from the trans tunnel bar lining up with the outside bar to the edge of the carpet and rely on double-sided tape to make it look as good as you can. If you're running a back seat, it might be possible to make the cut go towards the rear of the car and under the seats, then take it out to the side so that the majority of the seam is under the rear seat cushions.
