Why is the floor pan so irregular? Even with padding wont my carpet show these dips and bumps in the floor pan over a short piriod of time? How do you guys make it look flat? Maybe a thick foam, but what kind to use that will not show the dips and bumps after while? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

A flat panel isn't as strong/stiff. Those irregularities are needed to resist flexing.
Don't worry about it showing through any decent carpet. Not an issue. |

$200 Seems like a pretty expensive carpet kit; where did you get it from?

QUOTE(jd74914 @ Jul 30 2008, 07:43 AM) $200 Seems like a pretty expensive carpet kit; where did you get it from? They are on ebay. The carpet starts out much cheeper but i Went with the loop at 180.00 after shipping it came to 195.00. Not much of a backing on it. Dont think it will last long. The spot that worries me the most is the 2 inch diameter round spots by the feet Its like 3 levels higher than the lowest point of the floor pan. Anyway I just thought the car might be missn somthing. But if this is normal ill just deal with it. Thanks guys. |

I have the same carpet kit and it is of high quality. I believe the same company sells a plastic covered padding kit for the cockpit. You may have to look at their ebay store to find it.
