Update 8/1/2015- Floor Mats Done + Custom Vinyl

Floor mats are now done. Here's how I finished off the drivers floor mat with a large vinyl heel pad...

What I was left with after last post:




Here's the large vinyl heel pad and a tube of Liquid Nails Heavy Duty contact cement:





Basically, I took a caulking gun and applied the contact cement liberally to the bottom of the vinyl heel pad, running it about .5" from the perimeter/edge of the pad and all throughout the center. Then, I pressed and rolled the pad onto the mat with a clean paint roller...





Then, I let it dry with some weighted objects on top over night:





..and Voila! Good to go








Then, I headed to D.I.G. (Designer Ink Graphics) in downtown Mooresville, NC to pick up the custom vinyl graphics to finish off the exterior. This has been about an 8 month long part of this project for me. Glad to see them finally hit print





I'll start installing them asap and get up some pics.

Until next post, thank YOU for ecoTuning in!
