Default To carpet or not to carpet

Everything interior was removed, no carpet no anything. This was because there was some rust on the floor. The passenger side was already sanded and some rustmort was put on it. I'm gonna go through the same process on the drivers side, then spray some rust inhibitor on both sides. (the weather seals werent on the lower half of the door frame- thats why theres all the rust). Anyways I'm wondergin is once I'm done i should carpet it, leave it bare with about 3 different colors, or do something totally unique and random (**** carpet lol, etc).

Rhino line it! Never have a rust problem any you don't have to worry about carpet. Not matter how much mud or water or anything gets in side all you have to do is suck it out with a wet dry vac and your back to perfect. No stains no smells no anything.

I thought of that, as did the guy I got it from. He said he was going to do that but it would cost $800. Is that about how much it would be? Because that's WAY more than I would be able to spend
EDIT: btw I have a pic on cardomain where you can kind of see what it look like now. LINK

Edit by m00nie: I editted down your link so it doesn't go off the screen!!

I don't know how much it would cost to have it done but there are the DIY kits that work pretty much in the same way. Usually you can roll it on. Something like this http://www.nonslipcoating.com/

Oh thats pretty sweet and not too expensive either, I could almost do the bed too. You know if there are other roll on kits like that? just for comparisons sake

Here is a few for ya, seems to run about $50-$90 for a gallon of the stuff. I don't know how much you need but you could easily do it your self for a couple hundred bucks rather than the $800 for rhino line
