So, I know floor mats aren't the most exciting thing to get for the MGA, but thought I'd pass along what I ended up finding. I wanted to get a set of nice thick mats that were black with contrasting red border (to match my seats), but I didn't find many options for custom fit mats for the MGA. I eventually ordered the Lloyd's UltiMat from matdepot.com for $83 ($91 with shipping). The first set that I got from them didn't fit well at all. I called them and they offered to make another set if I made a pattern out of paper and sent to them. The second set fits great, and includes cutouts for the frame and seat rails. Here's a picture of them below. Ignore the extra piece on the passenger side above the frame rail. I cut off a piece of the first set (which they let me keep) and made a pad for where my wife likes to rest her foot. You can get them in a variety of colors and borders here: http://matdepot.com/carmats/SelectCar_L.cfm?category=ultimat Black, red, and grey borders are a no cost option - other colors cost $8 extra. Anyway, just thought I'd pass along the info in case anyone was looking for new floor mats.

Thanks for the compliments. John - I basically just notched around the gas pedal stop. I wanted to extend them up as high as I could without interfering with any pedal operation. They're fairly thick, so I'm hoping they will add another layer of insulation to try to keep the footwell temps down. I still need to seal up the firewall, and add insulation under the carpet, though, so I'm not expecting much temperature reduction.
When I get home tonight, I can post a pic of how they fit around the gas pedal stop if you'd like.

Yes please
We will be installing Dynamat before carpeting, but like you said - an extra layer of material can't hurt.

Here is a pic of the driver side floor mat. Apologies for the crappy cell phone pic with bad spotlight illumination. In normal light, the floor mat matches the color of the carpet better, but it is still slightly darker. It's possible one of the less "black" colors (graphite maybe?) would match even closer, but the straight black is pretty close.
