Post Diamond plate overlays?

Where can you get the diamond plate overlays or floor panels. Ive seen several cars with floor mats or panels made of this and it looks pretty cool. If you all dont know what im talking about..its that stuff that big trucks have on the toolboxes...the chrome looking stuff..i thnk they call it diamond plate or something like that.

If that is supposed to be a derogatory comment, it really isn't necessary here in the Appearance Section. That would be more appropriate in the Keep Your Car Lookin' Stock section

I get 99% of my metals through www.onlinemetals.com they do have the polished aluminum diamond-plate. I personally like the look of the stuff when used in certian applications.

I actually have the firewall laminated with that stuff on my project car (Pro-Street '74 Nova) and It looks awesome. I have seem it used as floor mats, and personally it looks like *** to me.

Man take it from someone who has been there,you will not like diamond plate on your floorboard.I had it in mine for a week and when I slipped one it getting in one day and sprained my ankle it came out the next day.It is slick when it gets wet.If you polish it like I did its even slicker.
