I took out my carpet for a while, but I put it back in. the carpet is just more comfortable to see when you're driving around.

4thGenTurbo.... Go to LineX for a rhinolining type deal. I have a few hillbilly friends from london and surrounding area that had it done. ---- I've seen farm truck done in it complete as if it was a new paint job!

LMAO.. heading out to Ohio with a buddy, we saw a S10 with gray rhino lining for the body.. what a redneck.. then again, he doesnt have to worry about the body much, does he 8)

Do you guys know of any pics to see what it would look like without carpets?

Dynamat spray "dynasheild" I used tons of it when I worked at an audio shop. Looks nice and would be perfect for the floors etc. We used it for inside door panels to deaden the sound. Its basicaly like ryno liner but not as heavy or expensive PLUS the added sound deadening. I believe they make two types flat black and blue and it can be painted too. My only concern would be cleaning up the wire harnesses to make them somewhat appealing without carpet. Carpets main function is to cover up engineering.

My worry is the stuff rubbing off due to friction, and i would also want whatever i use to be water proof and salt proof for winter, so a thin rubber mat is still my ideal solution. something to act as a tub inside the car so i can clean it with a mop and detergants. i plan to still have a soft floor because the meaterial will be overlaying the undercarpeting/foam crap.

that foam crap is attached to the carpet. there's a bunch of tar ---- underneath that is attached to the body too.

What I mean Kyle is, I will purchase the foam seperatly, lay it down and glue it to the floor, i'll take out all the seats and center console glue the rubber matting in on top of the foam, then aling the sides. I'd take out the plastic inserts that hold the carpet in place on the upper rocker, cut out the rubber in the right shape, then attatch the plastic inserts to the rubber. its alot of work but worth the effort and would look good if done properly. i just need to figure out where i can buy the stiffer thin rubber mat material.

dizzam, that's way more work than I would be willing to do. the cost of that is probably enough for me to just buy a new carpet, not to mention the time and patience involved. carpet for me, no carpet for my women 8)
