So I tried searching "Floor Plates" and nothing came up so my quesion is, Has anybody installed the "Universal Honda" PW:JDM floor plates on an EF? any details/pictures would be great!

 

 

What a waste of money. Honestly what is that going to do for you. It raises your heel like 1/2" off the ground and its like $150+something which is donkey *****. Hey, you might be into that sort of stuff, so don't take offence to what I said if thats your cup of tea. I hope your not purchasing it for functionality reasons.

 

Skateboard Grip tape will do the same for a few bucks, if it's a sliding around factor? Not sure just seems that is what there for.

 

I'll make you that out of .100 sheet aluminum for $100 in any color and cut out you want. I can't [freak]ing believe what kinds of mark up they put on their products.

"Password JDM - innovating all the cool parts you don't need!"

or

"Password JDM - we ship more broken interior and JDM parts then anyone "

 

It gives a nice even flat surface for gutted cars, i don't think its really the height that matters as much.

I don't think its a waste of time or money.

Of course thats totally subjective to the end user.

 

i don't see how a piece of sheet aluminum with a few divits punched in it and a grill shape is worth $170.

 

I would like to try one out some time!

Good point.

However, they don't have any competition in the extreme niche market so they charge accordingly.

 

from what I was told its ment to keep your heels from getting stuck in the ridges of our floors... wich right now sucks ***... I understand where you guys are coming from with the price and all... but nobody else makes somthing like this so of coarse they are gona tax the hell out of people! oh yeah and back to the subject... has anybody put one in an EF?

 

a good pair of driving shoes and i've never had my floor pan try to eat my feet.



3 years of ownership and they make my feet look cool outside my car too

DUDE! thats phat... I got the exact same shoes!

 

hell yea. either those and my pilotis are always in my car ( i don't like driving manual without thin shoes on (i.e. no skate shoes).

 

yea I used to rock super wide DC's and when i got my puma's i had to basically re-learn how to drive! lol sooo much nicer now

 

in my corolla a piece of metal to cover all the ridges and raise my heel off the exhaust hot floor would have been nice. but i would spend at the most $40 from lowes.

 

i have the same shoes too. i run no carpet or floor plates and i have no issues. waste of cash in my mind. i would try and make my own if i really wanted them. they dont seem to hard to fab

 

When I read the title all I could think of is the fast and the furious. Where the DSM had the floor plate come off in the race.

That seems a waste of money to me. I wear my Piloti's when doing any kind of aggressive driving. And I have never needed anything like that.

 

Full interior for the win!

You sure dont know much when it come to manufacturing. Here let me break it down for you 1 sheet 4x8 will make 10 plates and pedels 1 sheet 3/16 aluminum is about 250 plus mark up if the manufacture charges which they always do plus cnc cuting at 175 250 hr which would take a least an hour and a half or more to cut plus time save an deburing plus forming and welding on the pedal, then hard annodize wich is way more than regular annodize then etching, hardware and finaly packaging. Trust me theres not much mark up at all.

It could be cheaper if it was made from 1/8" but then it would be flimsy
On my car I have 1" spacers below it size 10 shoe and its perfect!
Any dirt or debree that may get in the car on the track will go under the plate and not get near you feet.

 

how did you mount it? pics?

 

how about making you own?
you could use lots of things, plywood, plastic, a simple $15 peice of sheet metal, layers of carpet. then paint or find somthing nice for the top.

Or why not just fill the ridges in with, little stips of wood, or carpet , and I dont recommend it but theres always bondo


and since a car with an interior gets by with only a thin layer of carpet and a floor mat, it shouldnt take much for you to replicate.

thats always a posibility and i wouldnt be buying it for a while... i have MANY other things to get befor this... I'll probobly end up making my own from a thin steel sheet or somthing... I can get stuff either zinc plated (for free) or powder coated any color (for next to free) probobly like $5 for somthing like that...

The quality and design is very similar if not the same as floor plates seen on $100,000+ plus touring cars. good parts are never cheap. If all you can afford is wood and that works good for you cool. I would never put no booty as **** in my car though.

 

I still dont get it... do you just drill holes in the floor?
