took some, but not too much, force to puncture with the high quality floral garage shears. Not something that will puncture from just dropping stuff or dropping then stepping on things
Pulling it taught improved the ability to cut corners for following lines
if you loosen the jam nut, the knob is significantly easier to remove
once you flop it over the shifter and realize your conservative eyeball was overly conservative, the old well used razor blade goes through it without much issue. Didn't leave an impression in my fingers for very long
and the width is pretty good as it is. Not as tight as a form fitted one and not as annoying as a poorly fitted high sided bucket one
probably going to trim the edge for clearance for the high beam switch. Left the hanging tab along the top for the option of installing a stud or screw or knob thing to keep them located
part of the reason I trimmed so small was so that I could put the mat below the skirt for the shifter. After looking at it for about 2.5 seconds, that's a dumb idea. Better was forward will be to trim the opening enough to go over the shifter skirt and into the bottom fold. Should keep the most debris from getting under the mat and still allow for reasonably easy removal .
overall, I give it a rating of "significantly better than bed liner" and "worse than fitted vinyl"
for the price of ~$60 I am without regrets and happy with my purchase.
