Fiberglass moulded floor mat
 
I made some black floor mats and bolted on an alloy foot plate, but it would always move and need adjusting. and with the new alloy pedals it looked cheap.
I found some fake leather seat protectors on aliexpress for $25.00 each so i purchased 4 the long part [ back ] i will use to cover my seats and that left the short piece's
[ bottom and head rest piece's ] so i used up the smaller pieces and made a fiberglass moulded floor mat with a non slip backing.
Here are some pic's of the steps.
Thanks Ian.https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8eab87b34d.jpg

not as cheap looking as the first pic and easy to clean and vac and will not move i had to put a spacer and cut the foot rest a little so the mat can be removed and replaced without undoing the foot rest every time
