Fiberglass moulded floor mat

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.
Old cheap looking floor mat
non slip backing to account for its thickness
laying fiberglass and brushed with epoxy resin
plastic bag on top of resin and then sand to keep it all flat and moulded
all dry and with alloy foot/heal plate
fixed a few spots and sanded flat
super glue the pieces together
glued on the fake leather with spray adhesive
glued on non slip backing with spray adhesive
super glued on edge trim
and here's how it looks
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
