Installing Diamond Plate Floors

Diamond plate floor mats are becoming the new hot item for tuner cars. You can purchase a precut set for your vehicle, or you can create a completely custom look. If you choose to customize them yourself, here are the guideline to follow when taking on your newest project!
1) If you dont have a template to use, such as an existing floor mat, you can remove the existing carpet. Removing the seats will make this task much easier, if you can remove them. If you do this, try to keep the carpet in as close to one piece as possible, since it will be reinstalled.


2) Lay out a sheet of diamond plate material. The diamond plate should be the polished and soft slate kind. Lay it out on the floor, with the polished side up.


3) Lay your carpet or floor mats on top of it, good side up, and begin marking it for your cuts. If you are aiming for just the floor mats, mark the outline for those. If you want to go all out and do the full flooring in diamond plate, trace out the whole carpet piece. Take note of the slots where the seat bolts will penetrate the diamond plate floors, and drill the appropriate size holes. It may be wise to drill them larger than the bolts to allow a little play for proper positioning in the vehicle. Also give yourself a little extra material on the edges and trim to perfection once in the vehicle. Otherwise you may end up with an unwanted gap. Replacing the whole carpet will be a little more difficult, but follow these steps, and you should end up with a great looking interior.


4) Cut the diamond plate using a saber saw, or a good jig saw with a metal bit. Trim any needed areas for the perfect fit, and sand the edges down smooth, being careful not to sand or scratch the polished surface.


5) If you are creating floor mats only, reinstall the carpet. Drill holes in the four corners of the floor mats and position them on the carpet. Screw them in place with stainless steel screws, or secure them in place with pop rivets.


6) If you are creating the whole flooring out of the diamond plate material, now is a good time to rerun any aftermarket speaker wires or cables. Start in the center of the vehicle. With the seats removed, put the diamond plate material in place and gently roll it over the contours of the center of the vehicle, being sure to start in the middle and work outwards. It should be flexible enough to contour to the floor nicely. Continue forming it all the way out to the door trim (which should be removed with the carpet) and fit the seat bolts through the diamond plate floor. If you have any extra material that needs to be trimmed, you can do it with a good set of tin snips, or by marking the material that should be removed and cutting it outside the vehicle.


7) With the diamond plate material in place, find several good secure points, and drill some pilot holes for your stainless steel screws or pop rivets. Fasten it in place. If you are satified with the results, reinstall the seats and the door trim. The diamond plate floors will look awesome with a little interior accent lighting!


Some people even like to place some carpeted floor mats over the diamond plate floors. If you choose to do this, make sure the back of the floor mats are not made of a material that will scratch the diamond plate. It may be wise to put a backing on it and secure it in place as well.
