has anybody used these mats?

[rt/10stew]

I am looking for an alternative to carpet floor mats as mine never seem to stay in place and I do not want wear spots on my carpet. I found these aluminum floor mats on ebay (item # 280273510828) and although I hate the look of the shiny mat I figured if they solve my issue I could just get them powder coated black. So has anybody purchased these ?

thanks Stew

No.................. really?! April Fools was about 3 weeks ago, you're a bit late...............................

Really?!

 

[rt/10stew]

Yes really. Please give me another option that will not bunch up under my feet and I will buy them. PLEASE tell me.

Thanks Stew

I dont even have to look at the ebay ad to know you've selected the diamond plate steel floor mats... Uhhh no sir!!! I dont use one on my driver's side. I dont wanna run the risk of it gettin pushed up under the pedals. The pass side is usually empty so the standard sneaky pete black mat is over there. Do some searching youll find a decent pair of "fabric" mats out there.

Cable tie loop your fabric mats to the forward seat rails.

Thanks Dave I had not thought of that. I will give that a try.

Just take a scratch awl or other similar sharp object and puncture a hole in the mat for the tie. I don't use mats but I've seen pics of it done. Can't even tell unless you juice it up with some of them Pep Boys neon ties.

I used to use these mats in my C5 for car shows. They looked pretty good. I would not recommend them for driving. I would not recommend them in a Viper either. Do what Dave said and zip tie them to the seat rail. Mine have been zipper for almost a year and zero problems. I change out the zip ties every detail.

These mats are really well made.

They have sewn-in eyelets that slip over the supplied studs that screw into your carpet = no creeping mats.

Otherwise check with the NorCal VCA and get thiers.

Or diamond plate - your choice.... maybe some typeR/HKS stickers, too.

i took out my drivers side mat a few years ago. not worth the trouble.

Exactly. As good as my carpet still looks after 8 years with no mat, it will be a long long time before it's worn out.

There are a lot of options out there. USSpeed, NorthCal, Snake Oyl. I have the US speed and they never move. I've also tried the zip tie thing. I didn't like it so I eventually broke down and got a new pair.
