Save Rhino lining for the interior of your favourite offroad vehicle. It's heavy, will make your interior ridiculously hot, and is expensive to do an interior unless you do it yourself, or do all the prep before you have a pro spray it.

Shave the irregularities in the floor pan (make it perfectly smooth) and paint it the color of the car. Then get fiberglass-backed racing seats and have the fiberglass backing also painted to match the car. Cage it (also painted to match) and get 5-point harnesses, then enjoy your bada** interior. Also, the racing seats will be lighter than your factory seats, and the cage/harnesses combo will be safer than the factory belts if properly installed and used.

Why do you think your HONDA CIVIC is going to seriosly be faster without the carpet in your car?

Word of advice: my plans are usually ridiculously expensive. If you know someone that can do the metal fab and paint, it would be around $1,000 minimum to do what I said. If not, I don't even know where prices would begin (this is why you look for people that can hook you up at every chance you get. Connections are where it's at ).

But if you do go through with it, make sure you post pics. Also, your interior will be my favorite one ever

Also, another idea if you go through with it: Integra dash swap. It's not that hard to pull off, and it's actually not too expensive if you can find someone parting out a 94-01 integra with a good dash/center console.

If your car is a daily driver, just put down some carpet. Its not that expensive and you can do it yourself.
Rhino = expensive.
Doing the sound deadening is a good idea, but not required. You can get some cheap foam from Walmart and use it. Will give you something to adhere the carpet to, and make it so you dont' feel the harsh metal all the time.
