I'm going to install a trunk mat from ACC. Does this thing fit right out of the box or do you have to trim it? If so where will it need to be trimmed? Thanks, Mark

Mine fit right out of the box except for the holes for the shock mounts.

Did yours have holes for the shocks?

It did not have the shock holes. I just pressed the mat into the shock studs to mark them and cut an "X" across the spots. Trimmed it to fit and it worked fine.

If I remember correctly, I only had cut the opening for the anchor plate for the spare tire hold-down bolt. I believe mine came from Rick's and is an ACC mat.

I put mine in last night. It does have the shock mount holes. It seems to be a bit large, but maybe it's suppose to be like that. It doesn't butt right up against the wheel wells, it goes up about an inch or so. Also what about by the gas filler tube in the rear, it does't fit around that thing at all. I think I'd deffinitally trim it there.

Just put mine in last week. Side to side it fit well. I had to trim around the brace at the gas tank neck. It wasn't even close. Make a template first otherwise you'll make a cut, (like I did) that you may not like.
