no, unfortunately i dont, yet, i will get on on here tomorrow, is your passenger side floor panels, the same as your drivers? or do they sink in? have you ever seen one sink in, but when you lift up the carper it looks normal, as if it came sunk in like that? or maybe someone redone it, idk, i have a 1987 camaro by the way as u can see lol

The dip on mine is where the passengers feet would be. Where all the grass is.

I got new carpet from ACC. Nearly all of my int is either recyled from the junk yards, brand new, or used parts "my seats" The ACC carpet fits pretty well but some cutting was required. Your dip looks normal, when you have your feet in that area there isnt really that much room. Especially when you have under dash panels installed.

Heres another angle of mine. Still kinda hard to see the dip with the black carpet.

Not the dip in the floor pan but the hump that the pass seat is on is to make space for the cat.

4th gens are like that too.

You would think they could've revised it a little after 10 years.

Yeah really, you'd think after producing a car for many years you'd be able to get rid of small defects.
