Next up was getting the new carpet in. Got the replacement that was a better color. It's not matching but it is one that works together. I wanted to make clean holes for the seat mounting bolts and not try to cut the carpet with a knife, I did a test on an area of excess carpet that worked great. I make a piece of tubing where I ground the edge sharp. In each of the floor holes, I put a bolt in so I could feel there they were under the carpet. Then I heated the end of the tube with a torch. Then I just pressed the tube down over the bolt head and bam I have perfect holes cut that seal the edges. I have never had an easier time installing seats after new carpet in my life. I used the same idea for the dimmer switch and the gas pedal studs (though I used an old socket for a smaller hole). Very happy how this all turned out.
