Carpet is pretty easy to install, really. In you have a few tools, you can easily do it yourself in a couple of hours.

Also heat gun comes in handy if you buy aftermarket carpet to heat up glue on other side of carpet to make install easier and make it look better.

it only took me 1hr.

i cut it down the middle where the carpet tucks under the dash.

its not complicated.

the exact same order. so easy!
