well, i pulled of the carpet cover thing and the velcro this morning. The velcro came off really easily, i was surprised, and they left very little residue. I was able to just wipe it off with some simple green cleaner and all is well.... except for the small crack i found from the defrost vent to the speaker grill

, oh well, its not too bad, and its the beater so who cares. Besides, it looks a hundred times better already without the carpet on it.
thanks guys
