I Made a Driver's Side Floor Mat Protector, YAY
 
EDIT: I also made a passenger side one as well!
SO I was kind of sad because after 8,041 miles my floor mat was looking rather awful. So then I got to thinking and after seeing this project:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25376
I thought I could do something similar but went well with the red inserts on the seat.

So I picked up a few items from the arts and crafts store and made this, tell me what you think. Included are a few photos to show how I made this little thing.:

It is removable, washable, durable, thick, and attaches very securely with Velcro.

1. Make a paperboard template for the bottom piece:

2. Measure desired difference between the two. I went in about 1cm (1/2 inch or 3/4 would look fine if you want more black to show:

3. Make sure it all fits and aligns well, then print off the 86 logo and cut it out carefully

4. Cut out the materials and make sure they align and look how you want them to:

5. Attach velcro strips to the back and apply to mat and enjoy.

Lastly, I used some fabric bond strips that melted with an iron. Don't worry, it's not cheap and once bonded they cannot be separated.
I've never worked with interior pieces before so it is looks iffy, let me know.

Would not be a problem, I can do this if you are actually interested.

I think it looks great. How well does it match the red on the seats?

It is 100% spot on, I was very happy. When the sun is out tomorrow I will snag some better photos with the mat next to the seat insert so you can get a better view. Not going to lie, they really make the interior look much more upscale. I'm also going to make a passenger's side one.

Yeah, I think it adds a great contrast. How much would you charge for 2? I'd also want a passenger side.

HOLDDDDD UP. Are you a Buffs fan? I'm not sure if I want one anymore... :D

Not too much, I'd have to add up all the costs but it would be extremely reasonable, maybe like $50 for two, possibly less.

i actually was making the same face as the gif picture and I saw it... haha

I should make one on my own on weekend.

Sweet! Yeah I would definitely take 2. When you figure it out, shoot me a pm and we could go from there. What material did you use for the red? The only concern I have is that may get dirty or worn.

bdanisi 04-16-2013 12:53 AM

Yea I'd want 2.super sexy

Tuan 04-16-2013 02:25 AM

Looks great! I'd probably keep mine in black though..what's the material/where did you buy it?
