Did you keep the jute, or pull it off?

I thought about that too but there are a lot of metal bumps/brackets/etc that would be visible. Ozite seems to be the way to go.

That speed inc carpet looks sharp, I went to menards and they had rolls of auto carpet, it comes 6 feet wide and cut to length. They had the regular black and the porche black and it was like .40 cents a square foot I spent under 40 bucks on it. Ill post up some pics by the weekend after the kit and warmer are installed. The only thing I see being a problem is the humps and stuff.
