Default Heel mat/Pedal Mat Part Deux

In a previous post I wrote that my heel mat (below the floormat) was peeling on the left hand side. It's in pretty bad shape and even if reglued, it won't look right. So I asked if there was a manufacturer of aluminum pedal mats that could cover my peeling rubber mat. I was turned on to the AutoVation.net website (they make aluminum pedals and mats for Porsche) by a poster here.

Now the question is - How does one affix a medal mat to the floor of a 911?
Are there any wires under the floor that I need to worry about?



Any input would be of great help.

Thanks,
Mike

Why not just get new front mats made by Lloyds? They are Porsche licensed so you could get a crest or Porsche, Carrera, 911, etc embroided on the mat.

I actually just did something similar and I was considering the Autovation product. However, I found and bought a cheap aluminum heel pad on Ebay (something like $10 bucks shipped) and it came with a set of screws with nuts that mounted only to the carpet mat. So you could try that route with the Autovation product which is probably a better heel pad. I will eventually buy a pair of Lloyd mats but I just wanted to see how the aluminum heel pad would look and I was going to have to toss the mats anyway. My other consideration was the Natural Grey carpet color which I am worried might be a little tough to match unless I want with Porsche OEM mats.

Thought I would include a picture of what I did. Cheap fix and not anything fancy.

Default But... on the floor

I'm speaking of mounting this on the floor, NOT the floormat. So I was really looking for guidance on that note.

Thanks for the replies.

Somebody please stop me from ordering a set of Lloyd mats with "BAD ****" engraved in them.
