I bed lined the interior of my old 98. It looked great and was easy to clean, but vaccuuming is just as easy in my opinion. I live in an area that is very sandy and that was the main reason I did it. However, I'm not sure about the older xjs, but post 96, there is a lot of floor insulation that is basically duct wrap under the carpet. The easiest way I found to remove it, was to let dry ice sit on it until it starts bubbling, then quickly scrape it with a puddy knife. Honda guys know what I'm talking about, for sure.

 

You should take that bed liner up to where the factory flares were in my opinion. And electrical tape works well as masking tape... Good, smooth curves. That cargo area looks great.

 

Thanks, I wasn't going to do the flares at all but I did the cut and fold and that left a lot of cut metal edges. I didn't want to get any rust later so I just basicly sealed it all up with the bedliner. I'm going to repaint the whole thing semi flat OD green soon and I will paint over the bedliner on the flares so it won't be as noticable.
