My floor and firewall aren’t exactly factory, and Home Depot sells this black PVC mat 36”x64” being I would probably cut up a regular one anyway this is a much better option for $30. I was going to fabricate some aluminum angle to cap it off with the lower windlace

I like it. I made a pattern and cut my own out of some bulk “horse stall mat” from the farm store. It works fine for my needs, but in hindsight, it was a fair bit of work and hassle for what the Repop mat would have cost me.

A hair dryer or heat gun might help to smooth it out.

I used some rubber mat from Lowe's that had a "rib" in it. Most folks think its original. It saved me a few dollars.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
