Best sellers carousel on index page? How to do?

I'm trying to set up a best sellers carousel on the index page for a client. Something like this site has: http://www.raymondgeddes.com

I have Best Sellers Reloaded installed, (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=419), so the best sellers appear on the index page. This is pretty cool, but a carousel would be cooler. There is a mod for doing this with featured products - Carousel Featured Products, (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1519). I've tried combining these two to accomplish the goal, but I've quickly discovered that I'm in over my head.

Is there a module that I'm not finding that will accomplish this? Any ideas? Even a commercial product would be fine as long as it isn't too pricey.

The best way to learn is to try stuff. But, back it up first.

jQuery Scrolling Sideboxes (http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1909) will do a "slideshow", but in a sidebox.

You can probably make use of the teeny, multi-use jQuery that comes with that plugin to get your centerbox "slideshow" effect.

I think the westminster responsive template from picaflor has a featured carousel on the index.

Thanks, but I'm not trying to do a featured carousel, I'm trying to do a best sellers carousel.

I know, but you could use it as a starting point and swap featured for special

Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that with the Carousel Featured Products mod that I linked in my first post. I got nowhere fast.

Got it taken care of. Hired a coder to build the module.
