My car has never had carpet. It is set up for auto x. I doubt I will be racing my car much anymore so I decided to install carpet. Everything is going well except the passenger floor doesn't seem to fit quite right. Is there some sort of a passenger floor board on stock cars? My car is stripped and I feel like I may be missing something. Any install advice or pictures?
My floor looks like the one picture (picture was taken from google) Attached image(s)

There is a big piece of foam that acts as a "floorboard"

QUOTE(dlee6204 @ Jul 7 2013, 09:24 PM)  There is a big piece of foam that acts as a "floorboard" Does the piece of foam go over or under the carpet? I have seen pictures of a big square dog bone looking thing that rests in the passenger foot well. Is that it? |

The foam piece mentioned sits into a depression in the front firewall piece. It doesn't fit under the carpet, but fills in a void in the firewall. It is a solid piece that glues in place. What year is the car? The early cars have a smaller piece than the later cars I think.

That Picture does look like the early foam piece. The 75-76 have a foam piece with a little box in it that holds an odometer counter for the smog. It's an indentation with a plywood cover. Earlier cars do not have it. I have tried both on my 75 and there is a difference. Make sure you get the right one.

Okay this thread shows a picture of the foam. It looks like the foam was added mid-72 to replaced the footrest.
