Default Carpet, Sound-deadening, and undercoating

Hi,

I need to start thinking about undercoating and the interior of my car.

It has very, very custome floorboards... due to installing C5 'vette suspension under it, and wanting to slam the car as low as possible while maintaining a reasonable ground clearance.

What I'm curious about is how to finish the interior of the car. Obviously a molded carpet kit won't work. Has anyone formed their own? Am I going to have to make a series of pieces to fit around the geometry? If so, what does it take to bind the edges of the carpet to look reasonable? Where can I get carpet?

To a certain point, I can use jute or carpet insulation to bridge over and even out some of the geometry here, of course.

The other option is to use Rhinoliner or something to do the interior. (I intend to coat the underside of the car with it.) But, I can't imagine that will deaden sound very well. I intend to make this a drivable car, one my wife won't absolutely hate riding in.

Thoughs? Experiences?

Thanks
-Nick
