LOL! I know 
But I have to say, my pride and joy is this,


Thanks to Charlie who first let me know about about this, I drove over 1000 miles to pick this up (Thanks Marco for going with me to pick this bad boy). Probably only brand new MS hood in the country (maybe in the world??).

David,
I've decided to use it on the MB FD. With Help of Rotarypolo (Marco), I did some work on the MB FD..
First the Tan carpet out and Black carpet in


Next installing the Feed trunk piece..
Without carpet

With rear carpet

We've also put the RaceShop rollbar that I had sitting in my house for the past 4 years and mocked it up... Unfortunately, I'll be also doing complete suspension change and didn't want to bolt it up until that was done. But fitment was pretty good and quality was top notch.
HEre is us opening up the rollbar..

The Free Race Shop Tshirt I got... sitting inside the package for the past 4 years

Well that just looks like crap Phil so I think you should give it to me for installation in my car
Nice work! Would have thought you'd put some Quiet Coat sound proofing on that puppy.

What carpet? main interior carpet or the rear hatch area carpet??
Main carpet, I get it from a local guy who bought my Blk FD. He totaled his FD and had the black carpet. I helped him disassemble the car and took the carpet as part of the deal of selling him my blk FD.
Rear hatch carpet, was part of the rear seats. I bought 2 rear seats and used one of them for with Bose bass tube and this one for non-Bose tube. The Feed storage bin will NOT work with the Bose tubes... just in case some of you are thinking about getting one for your touring FD with bose tube.
I been collecting all these parts for years... I had 2 non-bose hatch cover and non-bose rear hatch carpet for years. The other carpet will go in my SSM FD.

WTF those seat are nasty as all hell gets. Who in their right mind wants to install bright *** RED seats in there FD. What Ebay specials are those Phil. IMO they look Cheap and un-safe.
I'll Pm you my addy so you can ship them out to San Diego to have them destroyed.........
How on earth did you get the carpet out and new one installed without removing the dash?
I've got the dash out, but the carpet won't budge, I'm going to have to take out the heater unit too, just to get the carpet out.

Here is a hint.. even if you pull the dash, heater core, etc... its a tough one to take out. I took every single thing off inside to take this black one off the car and I still had to yank the hell out of it to take it off. All, I can say is, if you see one for sale on the forum where its all intacted, I would pay big to buy it. As I'll never do this AGAIN! Glad my SSM came with black carpet and interior.
I like the way the rear seats look, I just use my bins for various tools and cds since my datalogit cable resides in my glovebox, and my battery, sub, amp and meth tank are in the trunk.

I've done it three times now.
Only one carpet set came out easy - the one I just pulled, (and incidentally have for sale!). The other two were stuck very hard to the forward trans tunnel. I pulled the dash out on all three.
So shameless plug - black carpet FS - $350. No tears, no unusual wear. Some extra dirt where your heel goes, but I cleaned some of it up and most of it came up - some time and carpet cleaner would work wonders.
BTW, fitting the aftermarket carpets,(I have the heavy duty version in red) - what a pain! Lots of time fitting, cutting/etc..
For those who would actually be interested in that carpet,(Herblenny - I apologize for the hijack!
