damn that looks really good, I have the same color carpet, and it looks like someone spilled a coke under passenger seat. So two weekends ago, when installing my new stereo, I scrubbed and scrubbed my carpet with some foam cleaner, and it still looks like ****. Sad thing was I had a huge brand new bottle of simple green five feet away, and the only thing keeping me from removing the entire carpet was the base of the center console.

**** i just made a slight cut where the seatbelt holders meet the carpet and pulled the carpet right over it, didnt have to worry about pulling them out that way, took me about an hour to get everything out of mine.

I use my ash tray to hold spair change and somtimes it gets knocked out and falls down the inner sides of the console. Add that with miles and miles of driving and it looks like it found a way in there.

Transamam98 I had tan interior in my old z and it super hard to get clean. So if you try to clean it try it first with eveything still in the car. And if it seems to work then pull it and do it outside the car. Just my 2cents -steve

How much weight do you think you saved tearing out the noise deadening? Is it a lot or just a little bit?
