- The design could be improved - it looks a bit cheap and flimsy, but it gets the job done.

As any car enthusiast knows, over time, car mats start to show their age and get worn down. The driver's mat, in particular, tends to be the first to go, especially around the pedal area. It's a problem that's easily solved by replacing the mats, but that can be expensive.
So, I opted for a more budget-friendly solution - Autokrona's Metal Pedal Pad for Car Mats. I picked this up for 270 rubles, which is a fraction of the cost of buying a new set of mats.

When you open the package, you'll find a protective film on the pedal pad. I recommend leaving it on until you've fully installed the pad. It's just a precaution to prevent any scratches or damage.
Protective film
One thing that caught my eye about this undercarriage support is that it comes with a rubber pad with a grid pattern. It serves as a non-slip attachment on the other side of the product.
You can attach it with clips
Typically, undercarriage supports are made of aluminum or plastic. They're designed to attach to thick mats, like the EVA ones I have. That's why I chose the metal version, so I could attach it with clips.
Two-sided mounting hardware
I decided to modify the factory mounting hardware and did it all on that. You get to choose which side to attach it to.
Next up, the technical stuff. We mark the spots for the holes and drill through the mats. It's a bit of vandalism for the greater good, but it gets the job done.
I sealed it with some adhesive
For thick mats, the mounting hardware that comes with it should work fine. For thin ones, you can use shorter screws or clips, which would be a better fit in terms of thickness.
You'll need to add metal washers to prevent the clips from coming loose from the other side.
My curious cat gave it a test run
As it turns out, you can also use the factory mounting hardware, but you'll need to modify it first.

I also applied some adhesive to the bottom of the undercarriage support for a tighter fit.
After installation, you'll need to get used to the new height and the non-slip strips that stick out. It takes about 50 km to get accustomed to the changes.

Overall, we have a functional undercarriage support. A plastic version would be more harmonious, but it's designed for thick mats. If you have the original mats, you'll need to replace the mounting hardware to achieve the desired result.
This option is great for extending the life of your mats or fixing worn-out ones. It's a good way to save money on new mats in this day and age. I'm deducting one star for the lack of a single screw in the package, but other than that, it's a solid product.
I've been using EasyCharge for a week now, and I've gotta say, the value for money is pretty unbeatable. The shipping was super fast, and I was stoked to get my hands on it ASAP. The build quality is solid, and the buttons feel like they're built to last. I've been using it daily, and the battery life is still going strong. I've charged it up a few times, and it still lasts longer than I expected. I'm really impressed with the customer support too - they responded to my query in no time. If you're looking for a hassle-free experience, I'd definitely recommend EasyCharge.
