Bonus: my sound abatement methods consisting of an old ripped floormat topped by a layer of 3/8?? carpet padding stuff followed by the nice floormat...actually pretty effective.
Anyways, I've always been fundamentally opposed to any departure from original. If there's any cutting of sheetmetal I want it to be as little as possible (although the cover Lindsey mentioned is ohh so tempting...and expensive). Received 3-inch holesaw today and promptly cut the MC access hole. Still need to order another original type floor plug. It's about 1/4-inch wider than MC lid and I can just reach in, grab and retrieve without crawling under the truck, another bonus.
