^no, that's not true at all. How much is involved depends on what type of subframes you got, but no subframe connectors for our cars involve anything on the interior

You're welding into the subframe not the floor pan. there's no way you can melt the carpet. But you need to watch put for the plastic fuel line on the driver's side.
