I got a TMI kit from Potterman for my convertible.  I was a bit 
disappointed; where the carpet I pulled out was two form fitting 
pieces, all the holes cut, the TMI was 5.  There was no hole cut for 
the shifter or e-brake, and it was kind of dodgy in its fit around 
the seat rails.

The 2 stock pieces were essentially front and back; the 5 were front 
wheel wells, rear "ledge" (under rear seat to floor), driver's rear 
seat, passenger's rear seat, and a "bone" shaped piece that filled in 
the gap behind the e-brake.

I had to work at it quite a bit to get it to tuck into the footwells 
without leaving big wrinkles.  Had I known, I may have tried cleaning 
up my old carpeting....it wasn't SO bad.

I would also suggest using a 3M spray adhesive to get it to stick. 
It looks like snot when it comes out of the can, but it does a pretty 
good job.

I'll have to see if I can find the number
