Well A: Any critism can be constructive critism.
B: I've never seen/heard of carpets that flake. I bought my uncle "cheapo" carpets for his truck, for x-mas, a few years ago, and they show no signs of "flaking", just normal wear and tear.
I too am worried for the future of the car, ecspecially the heat/ac vents and door panel trim...
Hopefully I'm wrong.
