It says:
This reproduction is a stock replacement for the original factory part.

These rubber mats are the original design and have openings cut into them to fit pedals.
However, I can't tell from the picture... do these go alongside and under the seat, or is it the type that stops at the edge of the front seat?

i cant really tell but they look like they are a full piece type mat. they dont show wings on them to go around the seat. so i am unsure if they go under the seat to the tank or if the wings just arent shown.

You can easily get the seat in and out yourself. I pulled all my rotted carpet out and put down the rubber/metal sound matting and sound/heat padding from LMC. It was really easy.

First unbolt the backrest part of the seat from the bottom part. The top will lift out without much problem. Then unbolt the bottom and remove it. You don't need to take the seat out in one piece and when you do it in two its easy to do by yourself.
Best,

well, I drug mine in and out in one peice (bench), but I have to watch it with having 1 herniated disc and 1 torn but not leaking (yet), so I can't do stuff like lift turbo 400s by myself anymore. I got my full size polyvinyl mat in, but didn't install like most of you would, because I was really having problems pulling the vinyl into place, etc, and I had to make a cut around the gas pedal I'm not happy about. And, then I made it easy on myself by cutting out the spot the bench brackets bolt to the floorpan rather than crawling underneath and marking and drilling upwards.
If I had help and didn't have a weak back now, I would have done a better job. As it is, I have my inner floorpan coated with bedliner, covered with silver foil backed insulation and the one peice mat over top of that. Still not very quiet, but with the C-6 rubbing the floorpan (short tunnel), it just transmits all that noise and vibration through the cab. But, it's not like I'm going to be taking it on vacation or anything, no more than 50 mile one way drives mostly. I didn't really feel the one peice LMC rubber mat was bad, but didn't fit the tunnel quite as well as I'd hoped, but maybe over time it will relax and fit better. I have grown to accept not a dang thing LMC sells fits well, so I guess I'll just quite trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Banjo.

FYI, sorry picking up on this thread late. I have bought and installed the poly full length mat from lmc. First it is very stiff and instructions say let it come to room temp before you install.
There is no cut outs for anything and you must trim it to fit. Took me about 3 hrs to install. does not fit snug around trans hump. Had to take a heat gun and carefully heat wrinkled areas and strech.Looks pretty good but if i had it to do over would probobly buy rubber half mat from jc whitney.
It does look orig though if you can get all the wrinkles out.
Instructions say once you cut you can't send back. Add somewhat deceptive, as i said above there are no cut outs so to me that is not custom fit.

My next order im trying npd. lmc stuff has been mixed got some good and bad. I like that npd list if it's orig or reprod. So far had good luck with jcwhitney, just limited though what they offer. I do have a set of lmc arm rest iv'e not installed yet. Hope they are ok, have heard mixed results on them from site.

I bought on from LMC, I have not glued it down yet but I layed it down just to see. It also goes all the way under the dash up the fire wall. not a bad price either.

They come with a pad to go underneath. Glue the pad down but not the mat.
