View Full Version : Heel Guards

The first thing that wears out in my cars is always my floor mat, right where my heel goes. We've been making these heel guards for some time now and they've proven to be pretty popular. They dress up the interior very nicely while protecting your floor mat, or covering up the already worn spot on your floor mat. These install with "t-nuts". I don't have any pics of the hardware, but it makes for a nice install that can be reversed. You do need to drill holes in the floor mats, but if you remove the screws the holes will typically disappear and become unnoticable.

The base price is $59. You have your choice of lettering and surface finish. The Satin finish or Machined finish are no cost options on these, and the Grid is a $40 option. The Grid machining pretty much doubles the time it takes to machine these, so it is pricey. All the lettering options are no charge. You have your choice of: Marauder, God's Head, Crown Vic, Interceptor, and no lettering.

I only have the following pictures for now:

I don't have any installed pictures from a Marauder yet. Below are some pictures from other cars just to give you an idea of what they look like installed.

Any more patterns offered or are those the only ones?
BTW, what is the cost and how soon will they be available to ship?
(not that i'm interested mind you.);)

Very nice! Are you planning on possibly putting a package deal together for the pedals and foot guard?

What did you have in mind?

The Satin heel guards are $59 and the Grid guards are $99. The Grid ones take around twice as long to machine, hence the higher price. Any lettering or no lettering, same price.

They should ship within a day or two of ordering. Pretty much everything ships within a couple days except for the special pedals - the Grid, Block and Cleats. They are machined out of thicker aluminum and need their own special time set aside for machining.

I'll double check the website, but the same coupons that are already set up for the door sills and pedals should work for this too.

That is, 10% off for one item and 20% off for two items.

What if you get all three? (Heel guard's, Pedal's and door sills) Can you get 30% off?

I just checked, The discount only works if you order the door sills with either the pedals or the heel guard

I've run the numbers and I think we're at the max. You will still get 20% off all 3 items, which is pretty good.

My pedal covers and sill covers are a machined surface (very satisfied) but i'm not sure how the heel guard will look in a machined surface.
Any photos?
Is it possible to get the machined surface with the gods head emblem?
(BTW thanks for expiditing my trip to the POOR HOUSE).:rolleyes:

We have sold quite a few of them in the Machined finish. I'm not sure why I didn't add that option for you guys. I just updated the website with the Machined option. I don't have any pictures right now, but they look just like the Machined pedals and heel guards (of course). I'll try to get a picture next week.

Here are some pictures of the Machined finish Heel Guard with God's Head engraving. Unfortunately, the Machined finish washes out the engraving somewhat, making it a little hard to see.
