Hybrid Floor Mat (driverside)

***fiji06si13*** · 09-04-2008, 11:27 PM

Do you hate rubber floor mats? Do you have an 06 Si and your mat almost has a hole worn through or maybe even worn through.....I have got a thing for you....
I noticed my stock floormat has worn out on the driverside from all the heel toeing I do....very crappy quality I may add....
pic one note worm mat....

pic two I purchased all weather mats from a local auto store 35$ for a complete front and rear set...

I then cut a rear mat so that the rubber was covering only where mat was wearing out...

I sewed it to the mat and hear is finished product.....

been using since tuesday and feels fine.........
I did this solely because I hate all rubber mats and didn't want to ge cheap carpeted ones that don't fit right.....

maybe instead of sewing it.. if you had access, use a staple gun of some sort? or even a hot glue gun...
