Nothing is crucially structural to the weight or driving force of the vehicle. And even the tacks dont even have to look pretty seeing as how it gets carpet over it...

Its not like we're talking about reskinning a quarter here...

4 Linking a car is a difficult job that requires a lot of fab skill. Saying pans takes a lot of fab skill sounds like an excuse for people that are either afraid to tackle a job that requires cutting and welding, or simply just that bad at fab. Any joe schmoe with a $100 harbor freight flux core wire feed welder some confidence and forethought can do floor pans.
The right way? You shouldn't be able to tell that they have been replaced from underneath or from the top with the carpet out. For some people "good enough" is a job well done. Good enough is not a part of my vocabulary, it's something passed on from my dad and sometimes my curse.
