I am installing a new carpet kit to my LE. I was looking for something to put under my carpet to keep it a little more solid. Plus add a little more sound deadening. After scouring different options at home depot & striking out. I was at Target getting a last minute Valentine card for the wife. Anyway I see some weird ass Yoga pads. I think if that dang thing wasn't bright pink with some weird decals over it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) that would be perfect.

So I keep looking & find a plain grey down another isle. I pay the $10 for it & bring it home. I get out a can of 3M & get to cutting. Here is how it turned out. I like it & it strengthens the carpet a bit. It also is the rubber no slip stuff. Anyway there is my genius for the year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

No yoga jokes but thanks for a great idea. Strong, easy-to-get and cheap material for carpet pad or temporary floor mats.

Namaste,

Stuart

Yeah this is as close to Yoga as I will ever get (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) . I do like they way they bonded to my carpet. Really a pretty nice easy thing to do with carpets. I am on my second set of new carpet with my LE. I found rust below my seats. When pulling my first new set they didn't come out great on the longitudes. I had some credit with Morph so I just got another new set to put in. I also noticed my drivers side carpet was a little floppy. It slid around to much when I go in & out. I think this will fix that problem too. I still have to get them in my car to see how they will really work out. I don't see a down side with them though. At least not yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Good idea. What did the yoga pad cost ya?

I just had my new carpet laid over the old carpet, but I don't want to keep it that way. I stopped by the carpet store and looked over some 'previously owned' padding, but none of it looked ... 'desirable' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)

Yoga pad was like $9.99 & is big enough to do both front major pieces. Had to add a small piece to the little end that sits to the right of the gas pedal. Wouldn't have bother except I had it covers but for 3". With the center console in place you would never even know. It just bugged me.

Thanks to your wife for marrying you and causing you to shop for a Valentine's Day card.

It's really her that should take credit for this....YOU certainly weren't there shopping for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Thanks MRS. RUST! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Wouldn't you know it. I got so distracted by the yoga pad. I completely forgot to get the valentine card (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
