Rubber Floor Mats - Hot Floor

[GrillMaster]

I don't have carpet and my floors get hot! They will melt a thin plastic bag on a hot day. I was thinking rubber mats may reduce noise and heat while increasing traction.

Was also thinking about wrapping my headers and adding firewall insulation in the engine compartment.

Has anyone found good ones out there? fit? pics?

I tooh a FORD long wheel base rubber bed mat and cut it up. I dont have a rear seat so it goes around both wheel wells and there was enough left over to make front floor mats. Ended up with a big FORD emblem in the back.

Just ordered a set on rubber mats for the front on amazon.com for $28 (free shipping). I'll let you know how they work out. I figure if they are too small I can put them in my car.

Did you ever consider using a product like Dynomat? You could put it on the underside of your floors and tunnel. The rubber part of the product is the sound deading but the aluminum layer reflects the heat quite well.

Just a thought?

Will they stay stuck on the underside? I need some insulation, but have LineX on the inside.

There are marine adhesives that are rated for wet use. West Marine had a good selection. Ideally you want an insulation that reflects the heat away and won't hold moisture.
