..... I "know a vinyl guy" if you decide to do it. Won't be the easiest installation but if you are meticulous and patient, it's possible. And if you screw it up- it's not like you'll be out much. I have the Lotus Sport logo on file, and matte black vinyl in stock. It would be easier to lay all black and then just do a metallic sliver logo over top of it. Without putting your eyeball to the floor the end result will look about 97% the same and probably come out a little cleaner.

You need to pull the side carpets out though. It just looks better to see that aluminum and if you do the black the contrast will highlight both parts. It will start to fall out on it's own after a while anyway. Just make sure you don't ask the dealer to take care of it while it's in there for whatever else or they might just squirt a bunch of superglue in behind like mine did- then when down the road you decide to pull it out anyway- you have a real mess on your hands. I've been half debating pulling out the carpet behind the seats as well, as my car is so loud I don't know if I'd hear much of a difference, and it does look better. The only thing is I often have something tossed behind the seat and it rattling around might bother me. Not a big deal. I could keep whatever in my "glovebox"
