Need Pics Of Removed Carpet Etc

Just wondering what you weight savers did. I am considering removing the rear carpet, storage bins, and center console all the way up to the ash tray. Do you guys paint the rear a different color or just leave it? I know that Alf has done this...ANyone else?

I am gonna keep all of the carpet from the seats forward, but the rear is kinda pointless. Did you have someone paint it for you jarrod, or did you and Mr. Krylon do the job?

Hey Rico, Take out all that ****. I removed the trunk carpet and sound layer, all of the plastic in the trunk except the weatherstripping. I took the bottom of the back seat out, the top is wher my amp and power cap are, the plastic in the back seat is gonzo, the whole carpet is out, but you will probably have to cut it behind the center console. If you want you can take out the headliner, i haven't done the headliner yet but everything else is out, I think the carpet weighs atleast 30 lbs. I am currently making plans and templates to make sheet metal door panels. That's all of the interior removal i canthink of, oh yeah, if you have the rear wiper, take it off, use the grommets and other pieces over and just a normal nut and bolt fills it in, no leaks. if you know of any other interior goodies to dump ,lemme know

Anime/manga from japan. About a secret government orginization in England charged with the elimintaion of all "freaks" and "non-humns." (Vampires, gouls, etc) Alucard is the "pet vampire" of the head of the Hellsing Institution, and he is the most powerful of all of the night walkers. I love it!!

Its easier to remove with DRY ICE. get 20lbs of pellets and let it sit on the tar for an hour. Hit it with a dead blow hammer and it breaks up!!!!!1

rico: with you driving it the benefits from removing all the carpet aren't going to matter anyway However, if you still go through with it all I think you should remove it all. Leaving just the front part and removing the rear sounds a little ugly to me, imho But then again, this is your car we are talking about, and with you in it, well that just says it all
