carpet install...any tips?

I let my carpet sit out in the sun for several hours before installing it and it was very pliable and easy to work with.

The easiest way to find bolt holes is to install the bolts before test fitting the carpet and feel for the bolt head. You can then cut the carpet against the head of the bolt. Then remove the carpet and take out all the bolts. When you re-install the carpet the bolt holes are exactly where they need to be.
