[QUOTE="Macattack, post: 235378, member: 4475"] After some debate, I decided to cover the nose and gunwales in three pieces. I did the nose separately and then the two gunwales. I cut carpet so I could clamp the pieces on and then trace the carpet from underneath. I then took the carpet off and cut them out on the driveway. I then used some outdoor adhesive and glued each piece. I was worried about the seams, but with a little care they came out nice. You really have to look for them to see them. I now going to do the carpet on the inside. That will be challenging. It will be an act of patience, cutting, recutting, and piecing it together. I hope to get to that tomorrow. If anyone has any advice on how to glue carpet on the inside bare aluminum...especially the steep sides, please let me know. It could be challenging. [/QUOTE]
