Re: My first square body

Get color-matching floor mats. Small touch, but it makes a huge difference in pulling the interior together.

I got these in red. They are NOT cheap. They are also heavy rubber, not cheap plastic. They come oversize, and you cut them down to fit. I did it with an X-acto knife and a straightedge for the straight cuts, then used a heavy scissors to cut the corners on about a 1/2" radius. The ones in this picture have been cut down; as you get them, the margin around the edge is about 4" wide all around.

It made much more of a difference than I thought it would.

BTW, nice find!
