You can cut it yourself and install the snaps, if you get a snap installer from a store somewhere. If you want to get fancy, you can have a carpet company sew an edge on it for you. Just depends on how much work you want to do yourself. You could also just get a yacht interior company to do the whole job, or maybe even a canvas shop. You'll really pay for the work though! -- __________________ Keith Abandon the search for Truth; settle for a good fantasy.

If you're going to have the new pieces edgebound, do it right away, immediately after cutting. Once the carpet's been walked on, they are loath to run it through their machine, lest a bit of grit jam up the works I ran into this problem with a few small pieces on the Queen.
