Only time will tell, but to be quite honest, the floor carpet is covered by so many things that even if there were issues, you probably wouldn't even see them....

This is true enough.

Oh ...one last thing, don't forget to use good floor mats for the driver side too, or your heels will dig through that stuff really fast.

Yeah I'm looking for a large leather pad that I can glue on there like the original setup. Then I'm planning on some nice floor mats.

You want their non latex version in the 60 or 72" I believe, whatever is bigger.

Wow dude, that was definitely a good idea. Looks awesome, and definitely way more cost effective than buying new carpet like I did. Wish I thought of that when I did my swap.

I was ready to call "ghetto" from the written description, but it really does look good.

What sort of head unit do you have? Seems to look like it came from the factory
