Yeah but then would the rest of the care really look good. The other thing is the time and effort you will put in will make its resale very tough. I have never thought about wanting a car and said...

You know its okay but if it had wood floors that would be great.
Plus winter will be hard on em

There is a reason its never done (or consistantly done). Stick w. Remodeling contemporary thought on car design... the wheel exists... u can't radically change it now and expect people to like it (or it to work)

wood floors only look good in houses and cabins, do diamond plating instead it will look a million times better.

ok so when you say diamond platting do you mean replace the carpet with actual diamond plate metal or just mats?

the only good idea in this thread is the "dont do it" concept. wood or diamond plate covering the entire floor is going to be terribly ugly and nearly impossible to accomplish.

kind of, it would be too heavy to do the whole floor, but do it like floor mats but actually mount it to the floor.

well i would think about getting the stuff thats .063 inches thick because that would weigh the least and how would i go about attaching it to the floor. would i have to cut a square out of the carpet?

yeah cut chunks of the carpet out, as far as fastening it goes I don't know, I thought rivits would look clean but I don't recommend drilling your floor boards. so in conclusion it's another bad idea.

Diamond plate can fit any car... just depends on the styling. Richie had them...they looked badass. In my car? They'd be a sore thumb. It all depends on the design scheme
