Don't know if this is the site you're talking about but Vitek sells some, I think MachV has them too.

You guys haven't the prices on those Diamond Plate floormats have ya? Nopi sells them, but be prepared to spend over $200 for a set of 4, that's the only way they come. I wanted some too until I saw the price!

If you wanna cruise over to the ASOG board (www.asog.net/bbs2) a member named wadd3456 makes some. he'll even do custom text and graphics cut into them.

My friend made them for his camry. I dont know all the details but basically what he did was went to some metal supply company, and bought the diamond plate sheets and cut them with a saw himself and then put them at the edge of some steps and but the bend in. It really came out rather well. Im going to do this once i have some time. And im sure it was much less than $200, probably somewhere from $40-100 bucks. So if your n e good at usuing a saw(it doesnt take a rocket scientist) then u could probably do it yourself.

Just be careful when you hit the nitrous. I've seen the bolts shoot out and the metal floor plates go flying out the back before....;)

make em yourself, it's easy, my friend made some for his girlfriends car, you just gotta find the stuff and make sure it's new and shinny, i'm guessing you have to keep it polished

They are always selling those on groupbuycenter.com. I think they are like $117 or sumthing like that for 4 mats. They have them for a bunch of different cars. You may wanna try there.

You can get aluminum diamond plate sheets at Lowe's. Home Depot might have them. You can buy a sheet big enough to probably do 4. Maybe not quite. Or do fronts, and maybe make a battery box or something?

24744, RE: buying aluminum floor plates
Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, Jun-27-02 04:17 AM
I don't remember the price. I am thinking it was like 30-50, but I haven't been in so long, I dunno.

.063 thick aluminum tread design sheet 48" x 48" $160.00
You could prob make maybe 4 sets or so with that
www.mcmastercarr.com their part number 9058k23

Its kind of expensive thats why most go for 200 bucks a set or so, unless you own a honda then its like 20 bucks a set because of the mass quantities they produce

But yes wadd3456 from Asog makes a schweet set too, I think he sells them for like 100 bucks or so
