I stole the materials inside Anax's HD800 for the good of everyone who's waiting for 3.0. Now he has to get back to work on making another one or face the wrath of the face-tweeter.  :)p3
Can you give us some brief descriptions for those of us  waiting so we can salivate a bit?

Is the Anax 2.0 supposed to work best without original dust covers or are they just put off for the pictures?

Without. The dust covers actually reduce low level detail retrieval a bit.

Since I'm a schmuck who has less than 2 brain cells, would any pirates be kind enough to snap a picture of the inside for Anax 2.0 mod? I can't seem to make the rug settle down and it keeps hitting my earlobe.

Much appreciated!

In the meantime, im thinking of doing the v2.0 mod once my HD800s come in - i cant find the Creatology Foam Sheet or Rug Pad, but i do have the shelf liner from Jergs 560 mod http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B001TGOAHI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 will this do? or do you guys think its too thin to do what the Rug Pad does?

Thanks - but youre right theres no equiv links for amazon.ca or micheals.ca unfortunately, and amazon.com/michaels.com dont ship to Canada. I'll probably visit walmart and see if i can dig them up.

So theres two layers? The rug liner on top of the (adhesive) foam?

Yes.

Can someone supply a better template for the rug liner? It looks like the pdf is from a picture of it inside the cup, not taken out and laid flat. When I try to use it to cut the liner, it doesn't really fit right.

Guys - You just need to experiment with it and find what works for you. Depending on the system and your preferences, you may want to tweak it differently. I believe this is why it really hasn't been spelled out in terms of what you "need to do". Based on what's been said by quite a few members, I think the majority of us are currently running the trapezoid piece and the rug liner, but are not using the ring around the driver. Here's a bad phone pic of what I've been using for the past few months (I may try retweaking it soon, in order to cover a bit more of the metal ring around the driver):

The template's a starting point; work the shape in to something that you can fit. I cut mine around the trapezoid so that it fits the curvature of the cup better. I use 5 small pieces of removable 3M double sided Scotch tape to hold it in place. Stays in place and can be easily taken out for cleaning, etc.

Correct. Adhesive foam down first (whatever you choose to do there) and Rug liner second.
