I cut the carpet around them then took them off with a grinder

You could probabaly drill them out once the carpet is out.
Get that carpet out asap, youll probabaly find water under it or dampness, I know I did

Not sure why, but pics are upside down...? :/

patch holes
get it good and dry, scuff the new metal heavily with 50 grit.

wipe it all down with mek or xeylol. let disipate for an hour.

Chassis saver it front to back. if the chasssis saver has dried for more than 8 hrs but less than 24 hrs, you can monstaliner right over it without any more prep work or issues.

I reccomend doing the chassis saver on a friday eve, and doing the monstaliner like saturday morning after 10 (check weather)

it went really easily, and i am so pleased with it.
