The carpet won't take much abuse like that but I never haul anything in the back that could damage the carpet. I ripped the backing off my carpet at the same time I took off the asphalt sound deadening material so as long as the top side of the carpet is in good shape I would reuse it. Just scrub it good and hose it off before reinstalling it to make it look like new again.

Found about a dollar in change and some peanut shells that had been gnawed on my some little critter. Found that the front carpet pad was bad, all the jute was soaked due to the two rear body plugs had popped out. Metal floor is in good shape. Guess I will either get a new carpet kit of carpet that too. Any ideas who makes a good kit? Did you just carpet over all the holes/gaps in the rear wheel area? Your pics make that area appear very flat. Thanks again.....doug Thanks Rick

Just take those out and the seat will come off. I left the stock carpet in the front and just removed the soundproofing from it. The cheap rolls of carpet from Walmart cut and glued into place would also work, just take your time and fit it carefully. Measuring the cam is really about the only way to tell it is an XFi engine. Taking the valve cover off isn't that hard and if you are careful you won't damage the rubber gasket and it can be reused.

I am a newbie and just purchased a 92 XFI and would like to do the interior as you have. How does the upright part of the back seat come out? What you recommend for the front area? Can it be done without using the molded kits? On another note, I am having some doubts as to the authenticity of my engine. On the block the # starts with the letter "S" which I think indicates a 95 engine. Is there a specific code on the ECU that indicates the XFI? And short of removing the valve cover and looking at the cam is there any other way to verify if it is an XFI engine? Thanks for your time and assistance........doug Hi Rick?
