May 21, 201114 yr I recently remade my shifter boots with synthetic leather, they work great and are so much better than the rubber. However I have a yard of material. I have material to make probably 15 more of them. I sew them my self. If you need some email me at (my user name at gmail.com) or reply to the post. I can do two segment (what i have) three segment and four segment styles.Thanks. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/26/boot1iv.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/694/boot2d.jpg/ Oh and yes... Next is floor covering! any ideas for inexpensive rubber floors? -Daniel
May 24, 201114 yr I think those look great! Nice job on those. What are your plans for covering the floor? I need to find some sort of floor covering for my brat and I have no ideas. I bedlined the inside but without carpet or sound deadening material it is fairly lound inside...

It has this awesome rubber floor, it was installed just like the carpet would be in the non-police setup. I haven't looked yet, but hope to find something similar for the brat that I can make. It was very heavy black textured rubber, very durable and radio sounded fine in the car. It had some kinda pad underneath as well. -Daniel
May 25, 201114 yr Take out your seats, trim, and console and put bed liner on it. Its pretty easy to apply,and not to expensive, its not gonna come off though. I hear it cuts noise a bit. Gotta lay it on thick. not sure about heat resistance.

Gotta lay it on thick. not sure about heat resistance. Yes, I was considering, but it dosent seam like it would do enough fo the sound, I really aim to put a cd deck back in. I will see if I have a picture of the floor that was in the caprice, was great stuff.
May 26, 201114 yr Used to be able to buy rubber insert flooring for a lot of vehicles, you might find some that would fit close from small pick ups. I had a friend with an s10 with rubber lined floors.
