Carpet Clips instead of tape or glue?
It seems like going with more of an OEM style attachment would be preferred for remove-ability and just ease of use for carpet. I'm thinking of just the upholstery/carpet clips that you see in OEM vehicles. Anyone using these?

I thought about this as well but don't want anything that shows on the top side. The carpet install has really got me anxious. It's so visible. I'd rather do the mechanical stuff anytime.

The ones I saw are big 3/4" buttons that get "popped" in. You'd be able to hide them on the top of the footboxes, but you're right, you'd be able to see them anywhere else.

I wonder about doing industrial velcro instead of carpet tape or glue?
