The carpet retains its shape and goes back in no problem. Gas pedal comes out with a couple of bolts.
I'm actually happy with the result I did it a few more times spent an hour and looks a lot cleaner. Not perfect but acceptable especially since I'm going to put new floor mats in anyway.

UPDATE:

This week swapped the plugs, wires, fixed a vacuum leak on the power steering pump, new brake rotors, pads and wheel studs since the passenger sides all snapped

Got the metal rattling sound out of my mid cat converter as well. There was some left over pieces from when the last owner had some one weld on a new cat on the passenger side.

Regarding your bent wheel, if you don't plan on rebuilding the wheels to different specs, it would probably be cheaper to get it repaired at a wheel repair place. Some places offer a back only and will only repair the back of the barrel at a cheaper price rather than refinishing the whole wheel.
