    Diamond Plate??

    I was thinking about getting Diamond Plated Floor Mats, but really didn't know if i should do something like that. Where would I find them and how much am i looking too spend, someone said i could get the material and have them cut cheaper than ordering from a company??

      forgot to mention its in the "aluminum - tread bright" section. and the .0625" is plenty thick (16 gauge)

      they offer 10% off orders over $100. shipping is not too outrageous for big heavy peices of metal.

            Although, the diamond plate ain't my taste, you can look up metal shops in your area and find out if they can do them custom for you. I know a guy up here in MA that has the whole plasma cutter deal all set up with computers.
            He just scans in the shapes and lets the 'puter do the rest. He has tons of scrap diamond plate. If that was my style I would have asked him to make some for me a while ago. For now I'm just tring to figure out how I keep getting water under the mat of the drivers side floor.

                  There was an ad on e-bay once from a aplce that did them up for the Protege. They looked really nice, but I have never seen the ad since.

                    its a relatively easy job if you have a work bench and a jigsaw. just take the diamond plates, lay your floormats on top and trace. then cut it out with the jigsaw. then file down the rought edges and presto. dimond plate floor mats.

                              i made myself a brushed diamond plate heel plate + dead pedal and sometimes i think it looks pretty spiffy, but othertimes i think it looks tacky. im still undecided. :p
