I designed some aluminum floor mat plates to restore a set of mats i picked up. The embroidery was trashed and I wanted to salvage the carpet. I figure this would be a cool touch for some OEM mats, or perhaps to give a NON oem mat a more OEM look.





They are made of 6061 aluminum that is bead blasted and bright dip anodized. I can get a better price for a batch run, and i think I might be able to get other colors for the anodizing, though I really like the metallic look of these.

What do you guys think? Cool idea or waste of money?

Cool I would make them a lil thinner so they sit flush. How much?

Im epoxying one in place now. Its 0.25" thick which isn't too high compared to the carpet. I wanted depth to it. Ill show some more pics after it cures. As for cost, the unit cost is fair but adds up when you factor shipping and duty. Id have to inquire about a bulk run to get the costs down to a level that would be palletable.

Nice! if they had threaded holes and screwed in from the back they would hold down into the mat - easily doable. What are you asking for a pair?

I made them with threaded holes. I didnt use them last night when i epoxied but they have 3 M3 holes. Im leaning towards just keeping the set i made for myself. I dont want to get in trouble by selling items with a trademarked logo.

Those look sick and put me on the list so I can renew my busted floormats.

Im currently doing a small design project for another piece, will have the same shop fab that. I might do a very small batch run on these same time to combine shipping.
