It's painted and clean but it has the tin can look. Wish I had some pics. Why not just replace it with some black carpet? Have you tried those rubber mats with the edges on them. They are good at catching dirt and mud.

I have always enjoyed the tin can look of my car The only drawback was an instant need for a shift light. The INCREDIBLE sound difference was unbelieveable. I could no longer trust my ears in telling me when to shift.

Here is a couple more pics. I was going to leave it without carpet but decided to put a lightweight carpet and have yet to regret making that decision. Definitely will give it a much cleaner look.
