Make sure you have clean metal on both the car and the rails at all weld points. Take your time and position them where you want them. Weld them on. Sit back, stare, and admire.

Don't forget to pull back the carpet. Wouldn't want to burn it.

Depends where the weld points are. Some of the floor is multi layers. If the SFC is welded to a lower layer then there's little chance the carpet will get burnt.
