    My girlfriend told me to gut my car, you must be dating the wrong girls.

    HOWEVER, if you just take the carpet out, that's retarded, it weighs NOTHING.

    Yeah well usual mentality starting means the front is left, the headliner, and door panels or something.

    starting:

    –verb (used without object)
    1.to begin or set out, as on a journey or activity.


    point is: there is no point calling out the dude. especially at 8am...

    My Talon is the same. My rear carpet and backseat were torn to shit and everything else was perfect, so I took it out. I don't use my backseat anyway so why not make it look good?

    put the carpet back it, i hate seeing gutted cars out there for a dd, unless its a race car or whatnot there is no reason for someone to gut the car of carpet, headliner, door panels,ect.ect. keep the inside together bro.

    I thought the E30 or whatever you have now was purely a track rat, there is a huge difference in them only riding it once and a while versus everyday.
