I want a set of heavy duty (thick backed) mats in black with the Hurricane logo and name on the ends so it can be seen when looking into the cockpit. In addition, make a smooth pad for the gas pedal area so they won't show the wear form the throttle foot.
I'm ready to buy when you get them. Bill

I've made two sets - both problematic
  • Set one was just a bound piece of carpet that fit the footwell. It slid all over the place
  • Set Two included a heavy rubber back with the typical floormat prongs on the back that stick down into the carpet. These slide around also, although not as bad.
I suspect it is going to take a grommet in the mat and a keeper like they are now using on drivers side of production vehicles. Just the flat mat, even with rubber back slides.
