Aaron, I have the three pieces that are for the rear compartments that Im not going to be using. They are light saddle but could be easily dyed black! maybe give your car extra character and leave them saddle! Rolling On The Floor Laughing

Let me know if you need more pics.
We just got home so I could take them tomorrow night if you need.

[QUOTE=2nd2ja]Guess I'm going to have to buy new carpet for the fronts (my back is fine)!

Anyone interested in this set of brand new carpets? They have the jute padding on the backsides. I also have to go with it a full set of foil/jute insulation.

I know this stuff ain't cheap, but I've already laid down the Eastwood, so I probably don't need this either. [/QUOTE]

I have a '75 that rats were living in so there is no getting the smell out, I'll need to replace the carpet. So the big question is, if you choose to let them go, how much you'll need to get for them ?
