The next step is to put back the floor carpet. Note you may have to trim it just a bit around the base of the AutoExe braces to get it to lay flat without bunching up on the bottom. Replace the two snaps that hold it down at the rear seats.

Because of the way the AutoExe rear strut runs, you can't keep the "fix a flat" kit in the stock location. I wanted to still keep mine in the car though. I did not want to use the little storage bin thing as I plan on fabbing up something that will hold spare oil, premix oil, and a small bottle for the premix oil inside that bin.

What I did was removed the strap and also the piece of cardboard/wood plate thing on the back side of the carpet. I then placed the "fix a flat" kit in the center of the trunk against the rear seats. From there I centered it and cut two 2" lines to run the strap through. From there I reglued the cardboard piece on the underside of the carpet, ran the strap back through it and straped it down.

The picture shows the reinstalled floor carpet and relocated "fix a flat" kit.
