Looking good! I thought about a carpetless textured gel floor as well, but didn't think my gel skills were adequate to get a good finish - I've heard the patterned mat used to get the nonskid surface can be tricky to work with. But in the hands of some pros, that'd be slick (well, not slick but cool).
I can make out just a little of the aluminum intake on the engine - is that an air gap like mine? Any problems getting brackets & such to fit? Can't wait to see the reconfigured rear seating.
