Question Poll: Should I sell the interior carpet from my Civic VX?

I have someone wanting to buy my carpet. I'm not too concerned with losing it, especially in exchange for a lil cash. But will the small weight saving be worth it? I know it'll look a little trashy, but I plan on removing the back seats as well. My only concern is that the amount of road notice will go up substantially!

I pulled all the carpet out of my camaro for cleaning one weekend, drove the car all week with no carpet and no back seat and put it all back in the next weekend after it was all nice and clean and dry.
I really didn't care for the added road noise.

Better make sure you can stand to drive with out it before you sell it.

I would keep it unless i wanted to gut the interior of all its furnishings, 1 seat and part of the dash is all you really need.
kidding around not suggesting you do that..

There is alot of road noise gained when you remove the carpet and rear seat. I dont mind it myself but not everyone can handel it.

Yea I'm keeping the carpet. Because if I yank the carpet then there wont b anything stopping me from removing the rest of the interior, thus rendering my beautiful VX into a POS.
