Default Stripping the interior

I've turned my S2 into a project and am struggling on deciding whether to completely strip the interior down to metal (Just leaving two seats in the front), or take the back seats out and get the back of the car carpeted and smoothed out (holes filled in).

Obviously it'd be lighter with it down to metal but wouldn't all the rattles and knocks come throught whilst driving? That would annoy me quite a bit. Unless anyone knows some way around this.

Any ideas or advice will be appreciated.

Sweet

What to bare metal? Wouldn't it be really noisy inside the car when driving? Suppose it dont matter though does it? Unless you know hoe to soundproof the car.
