Removed rear seats. Spray painted seat bay with 3 coats of rust-oleum peel coat black rugged coat Spray paint. Installed Steeda x brace. Like the look better than custom made or pre-fab carpet kit. Brace can still be installed with either a homemade carpet kit covering just the bottom seat area or both bottom and back. I like the open back look better even if I decide to carpet just the bottom later although I doubt I’ll change anything from what I’ve done so far.
