FERRARI FLOOR MAT GRABBER!

Here it is at last! After months in development and manufacture, I am proud to announce the latest cool product from Birdman's Ferrari Parts: The Mat Grabber! This simple and effective item will forever permanently cure the "Italian Cruise Control" caused by the driver's side floor mat sliding forward and pushing on the accelerator pedal. This dangerous condition at worst can cause an accident, and at the least is really annoying. A pair of mat grabbers installs under the front seat bolts of the driver's seat and grabs the mat with a pair of claws. No modification to the car or the mats is required. Installation takes about 10 minutes. No more velcro that won't stick, adjusting the mats as you drive, or unexpected engine revs at just the wrong moment! (How embarassing is that?) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Push the seat all the way back. 2. Loosen the two front bolts on the seat mounting rails (they do not need to be removed). 3. Push a mat grabber under each seat rail with the slot in the mat grabber around the seat bolt. 4. Slide the mat into the jaws of the grabbers. This may take some effort. They are tight for a reason! PUSH HARD, THEY ARE TIGHT BUT THE JAWS WILL OPEN TO ACCOMODATE THE MATS, TRUST ME! 5. Adjust the position of the grabbers so they hold the mat in the right place. 6. Tighten the seat bolts back down. Done! They can be installed with either side up, depending on which way they fit better in your car. ORDERING With your order you get a pair of grabbers, enough to do one seat/mat. (Most people don't need to do the passenger seat, but if you want to, order two pairs, no additional shipping.) These should work on ANY car that uses standard seat mounting bolts. So far, they are confirmed to work on the Ferrari 308 (all models), and Mondial. If you buy them for another car, please let me know if they fit. I suspect they will fit almost any classic or vintage Ferrari. All this for the low price of only $19.95 plus $2 shipping! IN STOCK AND READY TO DELIVER!! This shows the first production sample mat grabber in our Mondial. Please note this sample is unfinished. Production models are finished in black. (The square tube above the mat grabber and below the seat rail is a seat riser to make the seat higher for my wife). Just for fun, here is a funny thread on the introduction of this product on ferrarichat.

The following are a few pictures of the first production parts. Now that these have been approved, the manufacturer will stamp out the whole order. Pictures of installation to follow! ^^^This is what you get with your order: one pair of Mat Grabbers. These shots are the design drawings:
