Good luck with that, at $20 you're ripping the installer off, and asking him to put his shop on the line, and possibly pay for damage for the hefty profit of $20....yeah... RIGHT.

You know how to do it, rent a welder, pay for Argon gas and wire, and see how inexpensive it is.

I have seen this done numerous times (including on my Z) where they didn't take the carpet out, and everything was fine. I'm sure if a shop wants to take the carpet out to cover themselves, thats fine and their choice. But doing so also increases the time spent working on the car by quite a bit, and therefore raises the price of the install, and like I said earlier, its not necessary as my Z is proof of that. As long as they take their time with the welding, and don't get the torch too hot, which they need to do anyway because of the fuel lines, removing the carpet isn't required.

As I stated previously "I don't know how to weld", so I can't just go rent a welder. Otherwise I would have never even posted this up to begin with.
