i think you could some how make something and then either velcro it like someone said or screw it in threw the floor boards.. maybe even a 3-4 inch pipe under some carpet so your foot would just rest on it. thats what i think would be the best idea

well just the problem i have i guess.LOL
i know i can make something work no problem... i was just curious if that had some type of decent looking piece that could be instaled.
i have no problem screwing or riveting a small piece of angled aluminum to the floor and just carpet it to somewhat hide it.....


im more of a toe driver...... same way i walk practicaly on my toes.... some people are flat footed and foot the whole clutch.LOL and im a toe steper

meh your complainging and im a size 14 shoe i dont really have a problem with heel hiting, maybe its because i been driving stick longer then you try moving your foot abit more up on pedal you wont even need to feel the clutch after awhile you just know were it will let off, just got to find a comfotable position for your foot you wont like something down there by your clutch i can gaurentee that

without any floor matt my heel always slides down which throws off my clutch engagement feel point.... and when i put in a floor matt well they ALWAYS rotate around and move as well.
if you have OEM floormats, they are supposed to be attached to a hook under your drivers seat so that doesn't happen.
