I just got this 2005 coupe. I noticed a large hump under the carpet. I removed the carpet and saw that there is a large piece of Styrofoam under it. What is the purpose of it?

 

That's weird. Any pics of the carpet pulled back?

 

 

Wtf? I want to pull my carpet up now! No idea what that is. I'm sure someone on here knows. Wrathernaut might know.

 

i would assume the old owner put that in there. i never had one in mine.

 

The car has a bunch of sound deadening stuff under the carpets.
is it possible someone jacked up under the body, pushed the floors up and now that is sticking out?
Check to see if theres a pushed up bit of floor pan underneath that area

 

Yep, that's what it is. Thanks! I glad I didn't try to rip the foam out

 

Looks like a good spot for somone too smuggle drugs..! I'd check underneath that humpband make sure no packages are there.. Ha ha

 

Considering that I bought i from a tow yard, I really thought I might find drugs or money.

 

I'm glad someone figured it out. How's the car been treating you so far?

 

It runs really well but still needs some work:
replace cats and y-pipe
replace lower control arms
probably needs spark plugs replaced (has 110k miles)
replace valve cover gasket
replace aftermarket bumper with stock sport bumper

I was able to located a previous owner from a year ago. He said he installed at JWT clutch and lightweight flywheel. So I was excited to hear that.

 

Make sure to check the Marketplace here on the forum. Most everything on my car now, has come from this forum. Thanks Driver!~

 

Thanks. I have been and looking on eBay too.
I worked on the hump today. It took a lot of pounding with my mallet. It's better but not flat. The last owner must have been and idiot. Underneath I can see the marks where they tried to jacked it up.
