    I used a product called Rub N' Restore from a mom and daughter shop in California when I did the sport seats for the e21. Heard great reviews about them, so I gave it a try. Loved how it applied and the final look is perfect.

    The SEM products you used were second on my list. Glad to see someone used it and has a positive outcome. Definitely keep it in mind for other projects for sure. Looks great Dan!!

      The optimism displayed in previous posts will now be balanced:

                Please please please let me know how you're going to get that to lay nicely. I have the same stuff in my car and for the life of me can't get it to lay flat everywhere lol

                  Pro tip: install on a very warm sunny day.

                      i dont know, never done this before. I have it out and am walking on the floor pan bit to hopefully get that part nice and flat.  maybe heat gun to get out the wrinkles?

                        Does the replacement carpet have the same foam backing like the original?

                        1990 325i racecar (ITS, former Spec E30); 2004 330i ZHP

                            there is foam on the back of this brand.

                            i have also trained the cats to sleep and play on the carpet to help with the flatness.

                              Also did not have holes for the seat bolts/belts. That was annoying.

                                How about ironing it?

                                Likely on the "Nylon" or low heat setting due to the plastic content of the fibers.
