DIY heal protectors and dead pedal
I bought some diamond plate and cut it to fit my floor mats as heal protectors. I had some left over and cut a piece for the dead pedal. I have to recut the dead pedal as its a 1/2" or so to wide and over hangs off the block under the carpet. I am looking for a way to have the heal protectors and dead pedal match the other pedals. It works for now though...
Yeah I have to vacuum the car. I used stainless bolts with fender washers under the floor mat to bolt them to the mats so they wouldn't move.

What I did was poke a hole through the mat with an awl and then just "screw/twist" the bolt through the mat. I put a small fender washer on the bolt and then tighted it down and then cut off the exess bolt threats flush with the lock nut.
The reason I did this was my 01 GT mats were worn down at the heal area. So when I saw the heal protector on the Ultimate Pedals site and also Taco Bills I thought I would try out making my own. I was going to use velcro first but couldnt find any that would stick to the mat.
I would like to make a plate that would match the mail 3 pedals though...
