it looks nice man but you gotta start seaming the carpet on the sides or something, you can see where the edges frayed when you cut it flush on each side.

You can wrap around, overlap 2 pieces of carpet and cut at an angle or semi circle and the 2 pieces you cut will lay flush against each other and you'll never see the seam

Yea, the seams werent perfect. I shouldve put an indentation on the sides for carpeting or rabbeted the panels along the sides to tuck the carpet [Frown]

No, the port length is the straight portion of the port
