I bough mine from 50 resto, they get it from auto custom carpet. It fits pretty good and the holes do not come pre-cut, you have to cut them yourself.

I have the carpet and its good. There are no holes to begin with, so you're good there. I also painted my entire interior and i will tell you it is a MAJOR pain. I got very good at it, but you will be glad that you have a dash in there in the mean time, because it will probably take a few tries to get it right. Just dont cut corners, take it apart, do it right. The vents will be tough too, just so you know. the paint itself is pretty good, and the black matches about as well as can be expected for paint to match a dyed hard plastic. the vinyl paint is much better than the other stuff, but you wont need much of the vinyl. Good Luck.
