Carpet picture request

I think part of my issue is that the carpet I put in the first time either didn't fit very well or I wasn't patient enough putting it in. Just kind of sloppy and doesn't fit the contours very well. Don't think I have it far enough forward up the firewall, but ran out of overlap between the front and back, so it had to stay where it was. I've heard that the cut pile forms a little nicer, but I guess some of that might be the company doing it. Thanks for the picture! Any particular reason you didn't like the cut pile? Just didn't look right in an old car or other complaints?

I'm debating a color change while I'm at it. Car is silver with black interior, thinking about a charcoal or dark grey carpet as opposed to black since I have grey seats as well.
