Yes. Same guy. I got loop so maybe it will be fine. And yes, I will likely get another mat for driving. 

 

Did he do the loop mats for you?  If so fuck me I wish I would have known.

Wasn't this kind of a fresh motor?

It might take a minute to fill the oil filter.... 

You could crack the filter loose just enough to see if oil is in the filter...

 

Then I would probably do the same at the oil sender....

Some oil should drip out of those locations.....

Thanks for the contact info. Are you happy with the loop carpet with regard to how it fits over the tunnel contours? 

With the curves I was concerned as well and was willing to live with some creases but I was surprised how easily the tunnel piece layed/glued down. No creases. The carpet is light weight. The kit comes in seven pieces so that helps with all the curves. Take your time. Test fit, test fit, test fit.

I cant answer your question but I do know for just the 2 loop floor mats its $225.  I didn't get loop anything and the carpet is holding up great but the floor mats can be a bitch if you are picky.  If I could do it again I would have gotten loop floor mats and left the carpet the same (whatever its called).

Did you use any portion of the vinyl liner mat at all? Even up near the firewall?

 

Also, how much was the loop carpet kit, if you don't mind me asking.

I stopped at the firewall insulation.  Like DP says, Carpet is $225. Mats are another $200.
