I installed new carpet last year.  If you can swing it buy the molded carpet set.  I couldn't and am happy with the results.

Take your time and use a good quality glue.  For carpets in the footwell I didn't glue them down or use snaps like original, but used velcro instead to hold the carpet in place.

When it comes to installing the seats, screw the bolts in from the bottom first to locate the holes you are going to need to make in the carpet and for helping to locate the seat as well.
