If you have the equipment, knowledge and time to make new floor and trunk panels, I say go for it. The way I look at it, (I'm a professional metal fabricator) "wanting something that works vs something that duplicates the original," would be taken into consideration about buying the "after market" floor panels. Knowing the cost of tooling and set up, (IMHO) their prices are reasonable. I've bought two (driver's side and rear passenger) and they are quite accurate as to fit and appearance. The bottom line here is, "to each is own."
