Default 997.1 RS Rear carpet for roll bar

Has any made a template for the holes for the rear carpet? I have the club sport roll bar and have cut the floor carpet which looks fine (but not factory). I would like to cut the rear carpet perfectly as it is easily seen. I know I can buy the carpet already cut for $330 and keep mine in storage but I would rather not spend the $ for no reason.

Good point. The floor carpet was not fun and scared the hell out me not to mess it up.

I just bought a GMG RSR bar thats on its way to my house. I was planning on having my shop cut the carpet but do they make one thats precut from the factory?

Buy the pre-cut carpet. Cutting will be a pain and it will not look as good. Worth the $300.

So a hack job on a $100K+ car which will result in having to order a new carpet anyway or $300 for a pre-cut one, hmm...

Brother, drop the 3 c-notes and be done with it.

Like TCS said, "...If i had my time back i would have ordered the proper carpet."

Thanks fellas. Ordered one today. Agree that it is worth the small outlay to keep things looking fresh inside!
