Default Carpet for dummies

I want to replace the carpet in my 91 crx si but I have never done it before. Does anyone know how to mold it to the floor?

I used a heat gun. I got the carpet from a restoration company and the instuctions said to lay it in the car and use a heat gun to mold it to the floor. Just dont get too close and dont heat one spot for long.

Seriously, for popular cars like a CRX, you might as well save yourself the hassle and get it already done

Where'd you get the carpet at? My Cutlass needs some carpet.

I got mine from the paddock, but year one would probably have yours.

I don't want to do OEM... I have a couple of designs I want to put in it. My cousin installs residential carpet and showed me how to 'glue' the seams together. so the heat gun trick sounds like the way to go. Thnx nova
