Instead of purchasing something like Lloyd mats I want to try and make my own.
What is a good plush quality carpet and how much do I need for regular sedan (4 mats)?

What is the rubber material they have on bottom?

What kind of fabric do I use for the stripe that wraps around?

Those metal circles, how do I make them? This is where mats hook to the floor?

Pyramid trim in St. Paul, just sent me a sample with the rubber backing. But my wife cleaned out the house and that got tossed with old
Mail. But a call could help.

Pyramid Trim seem to be "wholesale only"

I use nibbed back rubber mat on my floor mats. here is a link https://www.albrightssupply.com/Nibbed- ... Click=3957

I use vinyl that matches the color scheme of the car interior to wrap the edges of the carpet.

The metal rings are called Grommets and come in multiple sizes. https://www.albrightssupply.com/grommet ... Click=3957
I reccomend using a press-n-snap tool to install them. https://www.albrightssupply.com/Press-N ... Click=3957

Hope this helps!
