Sick and tired of those povo Super Cheaps floor mats that never fit correctley?
Hope this may help a few of you out.
Go to your local automotive rubber supplies and choose an appropriate rubber to make your mats. I went to Bill Thompson Auto Rubbers and picked up some rubber. You can buy it by the metre, costs between $25 - $35 depending on what rubber you choose.
You will need the following:
- Large and small scissors
- Chalk/White marker
Borrow some mats off your mate or use your existing carpet mats to transfer the shape onto the back side of the rubber mat.
Once you have traced the pattern onto the rubber mat use scissors to cut out the mats, be careful to take your time. Once you have cut them out fine tune your work by trimming.
*IMPORTANT* Rubbers stinks and will give you a headache, way worse than "New car" smell. So using some strong kitchen/bathroom cleaner and warm water srub the mats and leave them to dry in the sun for a few days. This will remove the awful smell.
Had mine in for a few days now and they are great. Cheap and fit much better than those from Super Cheap Auto.
I did this to my Golf but will be done on my Honda asap.
