    False floor

    What have people done for floors after you ripped the carpet up?

      POR15, chip guard paint seems to be the most common.

      With my power plans I do not care about counting to the VERY LAST pound. So I am doing POR15 with thin black carpet to make it not so...stripped? It is a daily after all.

        Factory floors are nicely painted, unless you wanted to change color just dont see a reason to do anything.

              No issues with pedals with the carpet removed, only thing i added was one of massive lee's dead pedals that replaces the carpet one.

                word to the wise, POR15 is probably the absolute messiest product to work with.

                cover *everything* in your interior if you're working from that angle, including yourself.

                  You can get this at hardware stores and cut it to your preference

                          I used Rustoleum truck bed liner. I bought a 1 quart can and painted it in with a 3" brush. You need to stir it up really good, it helps if you scuff the paint underneath, and it's a bit like painting jelly. It came out pretty good and is holding up well so far. I've used the aerosol cans for undercoating spots, and they come out a bit nicer, but I hate spray painting in the interior, masking takes too long and everything gets a film.

                            POR15 then bedliner.

                            And I don't know what you mean about a 1.5" difference without the carpet. I can see MAYBE 1CM difference at best.

                              3rd. Grip tape is cheap and easy.

                              Diamond plate looks awesome, bit slippery, also loves to eat little nuts and bolts that you drop.
