While shopping in the local drug store, they were selling this mats for 10 bucks.... Oh yeah, just my price, I can do that...
Being a dedicated DIY guy, out come the OEM mats to use as templates and the sharp scissors.. wack away.... didnt turn out too bad.. .wasnt enuff for the rear. Gonna go back and get another for that....

Looking good! You may be able to make some money selling those here.
That's an idea, but really dont wanna go there... it wasnt that easy to cut, probably would have to buy some kind of electric cutter...
I used to make motorcycle parts for sale, did ok, but retired from that....my engineering job keeps me hopping....
btw - shipping is getting nasty expensive now adays...

For others... its not all that hard with pulling the base OEM matts out, finding a remnant carpet or matt piece you like and match the OEM as template and hack away....
I have a huge cheap gene and have done this on a lot of cars...

You aren't kidding on shipping! I'm in the high desert (originally from Ohio) with quite a selection of parts available. Unless it fits in a USPS flat rate box, it is absolutely prohibitive.
