make an appointment with a local upholstery shop. have them trim and border the front cover to fit, AND expose the top strut mounts and bar mounts.
My car goes under the knife(scissors actually)Monday for the treatment. The strut bar and in my case, the monoball's too, will REALLY stand out against the carpet.
Looks nice!

Its Real Carbon Fiber and it is a Hollow Bar so its real light.
Not sure who the manufacturer is but it is Very good quality, Had to modify the mounts a bit by drilling but fit like a glove.
Bought it from a Guy on ebay for $95! Brand New!

Very nice. Enjoy the decrease in the dash "creaking".
I'm hoping given your description that you will make the carpet fit so you can enjoy the carbon "bling"

Hows the bar impact the responsiveness and steering feel? I put one on my old VW Rabbit GTI after installing better shocks and progressive rate springs and it made it feel even more responsive. It was FWD though.

I have the same one, but sliced the carpet on each mount. Don't over tighten the lock nuts because the carbon is very fragile. The bar is very close to pocket in the carpet but looks good. I couldn't tell the difference before and after the installation. It might not do anything at all?! Who knows.

Seller e-mailed me back and he has more of them.
Again the mounts do need to be modified a bit, The mounting holes need to be made a bit larger. But it is a nice bar for the price.
Who wants one? I am not going to charge anything and I will think of what is the best way for me to do this but they are $95 shipped.
