Default Interior carpet install

I have purchased a brand new lightweight interior carpet kit for my 964 and am looking to have it professionally installed. Any recommendations?

thanks,

I did mine a few years ago. Not hard, just time consuming. Budget 12-15 hours - basically a Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Get the spray glue from Canadian tire, spray, let stand 60 seconds to get tacky, then apply the piece. Best payoff-to-work/cost job I've ever done on the car. I did the carpet, door panels and new seats all at once and the car looks brand new.

964s have a stupid amount of super glue from the factory. It will take more than a weekend. Stripping the old stuff is the worst part.

That is really the reason that I'm not going to tackle it on my own. The carpet supplier strongly recommended that it get done professionally, and I've never been mistaken for a professional before
