I wanted to get some kind of floormat for my 46.  I wanted to cover the rear floor, the rear wheel well tops, and the driver and passenger floor areas.  
I found this 36"X79" rubber mat at Menards.  (It's kind of like a Home Depot or Lowe's for those of you that don't have them in your area)




It's made from recycled tires so it's probably real rubber, and is about 1/8" thick.  It does have a little bit of texture to it and has kind of a new car smell to it.  (Don't judge, slotted head screws are inbound...)



There was just enough for all 4 pieces that I wanted.  The rear floor, the wheel well tops, and both floormats.  I put in the footman loops on the wheel wells which will hold the wheel well pieces down.






For the driver and passenger floor areas, I do wish it went up a little higher on the floor.  (It only went about 6" high from the bend line, but I think that's enough for me)  The drivers side should be held in place with the front left seat frame bolt, but both sides should stay in place pretty good because I cut slots in them for the cowl and dash supports.

In this picture you can also see the small triangle section that I could not cover in one piece on the left of the drivers side floormat... oh well.






Just thought I'd let you all know of a fairly cheap option to get some floor coverings in case you were looking for some, or if your flooring "leave something to be desired" like mine do....  Menards may not be local to you, but it looks like they will ship.  I cut all 5 pieces from one 36"x79" mat.

I will caution you that if you want to keep that little top left triangle section of the passenger floormat, you need to be careful how you cut it.  If anyone wants the layout, I can take them all out and snap a pic of how I laid out mine.
