First the nitpick: See attached pics. Is everyone "missing" a cover for the front seats leg/anchor? One would think that a plastic cover would have been standard. The black metal strut sticks out like a sore thumb unless the seats are moved waaaaay up. Odd because the rear anchor legs do have a cover, in a far less visible area. Front covers would finish off the appearance. Expecting the All-weather mats coming in soon from PC Shop. The idea: The indentations in the floor pan under the seats; nice storage area. Perfect for a mini umbrella as I have beside the driver's seat.
I imagine the back ones are covered because a back seat passenger may slide their foot up against it (imagine a shoe-less foot getting snagged on a bolt... ouch!) I don't think that the front ones would get touched like that. I agree that it may look 'unfinished' though.
In think that using this for storage... even "secret storage" (when the seat is up forward) is a great idea..... still waiting for my car...
