Since you asked for opinions I prefer to use the carpeted sides and mount retracting seatbelts outside the carpet. I did this on my 70 then my 69 and now I'm doing so on my backdated 83. The vinyl bit just looks out of place and the seat belts are barely visible and when observed just look simple and functional much like the RS carpet kit.

Does any body know (or even better, have a photo of) what an original RS had in this position? I presume they had retracting belts.
