    Their quality is decent. I have a set in my Crx with the logo (when they were able to put them on). Some of the logo is starting to become stringy and the edge material looks like it was half assed, but they hold up fine. I washed them and put them in a dryer and they seem to like my rex a lot better now.

    although that doesn't seem to help the problem at hand.

    I would think to make a floormat wouldn't be the most difficult thing to do. Some carpet, rubber, glue together, stitch the edge and call it good. But I could be completely wrong too

    I just got back from the junkyard and found a greyish blue set of Sedan floormats that I'm going to see if they will fit in y rt4wd or not. Will let you guys know.

    I also picked up a blue Hatchback set but it was missing driverside front :(

    could always get carpet off cuts, and make your own

  • vtecn8ivevtecn8ive Senior Wagonist

    i priced some floor mat backing material at the upholstery supplier where i buy my fabrics the other day.
    17.99 a yard for the backing with rubbery nipples to hold it.
    carpet around 10$ a yard any color real automotive carpet.
    Some kind of binding to go around the outside (havent found yet or looked really)

    I know my sewing machine will beable to sew through the materials just not sure of how i will make them look nicely bound at the edges. My wagon needs some mats tho

    I have a genuine wagon set we can use for a pattern. I think there may be another set in one of the RTs I just acquired, too.

    you sick puppy, you got the wagon bug bad. :lol:
  • colecocoleco New Wagonist
    can you take a picture of those mats from straight down and put something like a ruler in there that i can use to scale it down in autocad or something?
    I have had good results patterning 2dimensional objects that way ^^
    either that or put the mats on something rectangle like a piece of cardboard which we know the dimensions of so i can scale it ^^

    i will make an attempt and see how it works out
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I'll work on that, or I can just trace them on paper and send them to you?
  • DarthevoDarthevo New Wagonist
    Anyone buy these? I've an '89 wagon, and i'm wondering if I should get a set made for the 4 dr civic of the same year. Comments?
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    The sedan ones are a different shape- I'm not sure exactly HOW different.
  • colecocoleco New Wagonist
    trace on paper is fine too.
    I will pm you my address.

    edit: couple teaser pics on my attempt with dark grey

  • I've got some Honda ones which have cut out markings for the different model EF's.
    They seem to have been a one size fits all, trim to size.

    Luckily, I got them from a CRX originally so they were never cut out.
    Scanning them for a pattern might be a bitch but it's entirely possible if any use ??

    thats what I have too. rubber ones, with a square pattern...
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I mailed those patterns Monday (2 days ago), should arrive soon.
  • I just picked up a blue wagon and didnt even know if had floor mats until I got it home. However they were damaged when the car was flooded. I have to use these to make new ones.
  • colecocoleco New Wagonist
    got those patterns from bam-bam
    Will be making a set and sending them to him for review by the middle of next week.
    We will see how they turn out at this point im still not going to say they are for sale yet. but maybe by the end of next week we should know if they are worthy.

    Sending a set of black custom mats to bam-bam tomorrow for him to check out.
    Hopefully he will post up a review of them.
    If he likes them and thinks that others will too I will talk to the moderators and see about getting a group buy going.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Sweet. I'm looking forward to it. :D

  • Marc_EE9Marc_EE9 Senior Wagonist
