YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CUT ANY WIRES!!!
Cut the foam, all the way til you see the metal beneath it - it will not be visible later.
Try to make clean cuts - no debris
The cut:
1. See where the wire comes out of the floor and cut about 1.5 inches UP
2. Go back to where the wire stuck out originally and cut LEFT 1.5 inches and the UP 1.5 inches from there.
3. Lift the U-shaped tab with your thumb and insert the SB completely and make sure it does not stick out at all.
4. Put the tab back down and tuck and fix it a little to make sure no foam is sticking out.
5. Slide the pedal assembly back on (you might have a little trouble re-installing in on that tab - if so, just re-open the tab and tuck the SB deeper.
and so on ...

Here is 1 picture. I have 2 others that my phone won't upload.
I have cut the hell out of the carpet to the point where a good amount of the metal is visible and it is not nearly deep enough to lay the SB in there. I have no idea how anyone could possibly get it to sit underneath the carpet without the carpet being pushed forward several inches.

That's a nice pic. And my install looks exactly like that.
